Mission
Voices' mission is to promote sustainable and equitable human development in El Salvador by supporting and connecting communities in the United States and El Salvador through mutually beneficial, long-term, community-based, partnerships, grassroots organizing, and accompaniment.
In service of this mission, we have identified three goals:
- Assist local institutions and organizations to achieve community and regional development goals
- Collaborate with active and informed U.S. Partners
- Continue improving our own institutional capacity
To accomplish these goals, we seek to:
- Increase levels of civic participation, ensuring that any marginalized sectors have an equal roll in creating and implementing development policies and plans
- Strengthen partnerships and collaboration among community and regional partners, and other stakeholders
- Foster greater transparency and professionalism among partners and stakeholders
- Support local institutions and organizations in their efforts to advocate at the regional and national level for the policies and resource allocations that further their development goals
- Assist U.S. partner communities achieve their mission and have a productive exchange with their Salvadoran counterparts
- Provide U.S. partners and others in the U.S. with information about current events and issues in El Salvador
