Frequently Asked Questions
What is VoiceBox?
VoiceBox is a monthly subscription box that contains a new creative social action project each month that empowers kids to inspire social change in their communities. Each box provides a new lesson on a specific social issue or world problem, and includes all the tools necessary to unleash their own creative superpowers to help make the world a better place. Part of the social action project includes a social engagement component, complete with hashtags to use on social media — which we teach youth to use responsibly as a tool to amplify their voice.
​
How does it work?
Voice Box is a month-to-month subscription box. Once your child has received their box they can get started on the creative social action project at their own pace. Your child should read about the social issue presented in that month's box and use all the resources available to them within the guide. Once they have done that, they will understand how the creative project connects to the social issue, and they can begin creating. Once the creative project is complete, your child can use their project as a tool to spark real-life conversations with anyone they choose. Part of the social action project is understanding how the ripple effect works and realizing that even the smallest actions can make a significant impact to inspire social change.
​
Do I have to use social media to participate?
Not at all! Not everyone has, or wants social media accounts. Or maybe you are on social media but feel uncomfortable using them to make a statement — that's A-O.K.! The creative social action projects are designed to be done in any fashion that you're most comfortable. And the most important part of the project is that you are taking the time to learn a little more about a social issue. The creative component of the project is an easy way to spark real-life conversations with anyone you choose to share it with. Art is a great way to not only create conversations, but to express yourself, whether you choose to share them or not.
For what ages is VoiceBox appropriate?
VoiceBox is designed for kids aged 13 - 16. Kids aged 10 - 12 can benefit from and enjoy the lessons and creative social action projects, however they would not be able to participate in the social media component of the project — which is totes O.K. with us!

Who are you guys?
VoiceBox was started by Kim Murray and Kelly Kitterman, two friends passionate about creating positive change and giving back to their communities. The idea was sparked by a conversation between lifelong friends who were seeking to find a creative project for their kids that would also function as a gateway to social action. VoiceBox was created to fulfill that need. It is (and continues to be) very much inspired by the new emerging energy of youth everywhere wanting to get more involved with causes they are passionate about.
