FAQs= Help Me Understand VOIICE

• What is the difference between the VOIICE Community and the VOIICE Foundation.

  The VOIICE Community is a coalition or a collective of change makers who believe in our core values of love, empathy, respect, inclusion and individuality, being holistically empowered to owning their voices.

  The VOIICE Foundation is a wing of the VOIICE organization that specifically fights against gender based violence and it’s related mental health issues. The VOIICE Community is engaged in all  activities.

  No branch of the VOIICE Organization is independent from the other. They work hand in hand to achieve our goals and objectives.

• What is expected of me as a member of VOIICE?

  The only requirement we don’t compromise on is every member holding in high esteem our core values and code of conduct; this places on members the expectation to love all people and eschewing violence and discrimination.

  Every thing else members do such as outreaches,paying membership dues, referring other changemakers, activism, joining a department and others is encouraged however not a requirement to be a member of the community.

  Our main goal is to socialize and empower members to believe in our core values and by virtue, empowering them to be effective change makers.
