Our Mission
Listening for a Change promotes understanding and acceptance of human diversity through education, oral history, and the arts.

Our Vision
As our communities become increasingly diverse, it is imperative that we find meaningful ways to respect and understand the rich and complex cultures among us.

We work to eliminate prejudice and intolerance in order to promote true acceptance of others. This is achieved by working with communities to develop oral histories and art projects based upon the personal stories of community members who have lost human or civil rights.

Each project becomes a catalyst for positive change through introspection and application.
