Bridging Voices

Mission

Bridging Voices is a youth chorus for LGBTQ+ and allied youth, ages 13-21. We strive to be a safe, accessible place for youth to experience empowerment and unity through music. Bridging Voices is Portland’s first LGBTQ+ and Allied Youth Chorus and is one of the largest choruses of its kind in the nation.

Quote

“Bridging Voices gives people a place to be themselves and they can have people use their correct pronouns and have people accept them even when nobody else does.” - Bridging Voices Singer

“I have seen some kids come in through the door with dark, stormy clouds over their heads and in a matter of months, one day a week, transform into more confident young adults who are comfortable sharing what’s on their minds and for once, being themselves.” – Bridging Voices Parent
