Issue-Based Outreach
Education Advocacy
The Voices have worked in several high-needs schools to educate parents and support students. Outreach in this area includes Thirman L. Milner and Sarah J. Rawson elementary schools, as well as involvement in ensuring residents are informed about the Hartford Public Schools’ consolidation plans.
Elderly Assistance
Elderly Hartford residents often require transportation to and from medical appointments, grocery shopping and other errands. The Voices provide transportation to these needy residents free of charge, and use their established relationships to ensure access to necessary services.
The Homework Gap
In July 2017, the Voices joined forces with Strategic Outreach Services (SOS), a strategic communications firm, and the State of Connecticut Office of Consumer Counsel’s Office of State Broadband, to develop Assessment of the Broadband “Homework Gap” In Hartford, a report detailing the barriers to high-speed internet access faced by students in the North End of Hartford.
The outreach and resulting report revealed a gap between the availability of high-speed internet for student research and completion of homework in the suburbs and the lack of such availability in many homes in the North End of Hartford. This troubling situation, dubbed the “Homework Gap,” negatively impacts the educational opportunities of North End students.
