Through our initiatives, Raise Your Voice Labs brings our powerful toolkit to communities around the world who are raising their voices for change.
Our nonprofit work
Raise Your Voice Labs is more than just a business. We believe that everyone should have access to the power of music and dialogue to bridge divides, forge community, and catalyze new visions for society.
In partnership with our fiscal sponsor, YES!, we are able to bring The Lab to grassroots movements, mission-driven artistic ensembles, and changemakers—from Jerusalem to cities across America.
Our flagship initiative is The Jerusalem Youth Chorus, where the idea for The Lab was born.
An Israeli-Palestinian music and dialogue project, the mission of the Jerusalem Youth Chorus is to provide a space for young people from East and West Jerusalem to grow together in song and dialogue. Through the co-creation of music and the sharing of stories, JYC empowers youth in Jerusalem with the responsibility to speak and sing their truths, as they become leaders in their communities and inspire singers and listeners around the world to work for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality.
Raise Your Voice Labs is proud to amplify these brave voices through educational collaboration and compelling videos like “Zman Lehitorer x My Shot”—a call to all of us to stand for justice, wherever and whoever we may be.
Videos for the Vote
At Raise Your Voice Labs, we played our part in Get Out The Vote efforts by offering our music video production services pro bono to groups like Play for the Vote and The Yale Whiffenpoofs who were promoting voter engagement in the 2020 US Presidential Election.
Help us power change wherever it is needed.
We have witnessed the incredible transformative power of song and dialogue in Jerusalem and want to bring this healing and hope to communities all over the world. Whether facing prejudice or polarization, division or simply difference, we can help communities build bridges of harmony across the chasms of fear and hate that too often separate us in today’s world and work together for change. We partner with local organizations, ensembles, and community groups to tackle the challenges they are facing and help them move forward with commitment and creativity.
