Cleopatra Caperón Mendoza, 15, Tucson High Magnet School:
VOICES is the greatest thing that has happened to me since my first bike! I love coming here everyday because I get to express my true self and meet the most wonderful people. These past few weeks have taught me responsibility and a few technological and writing skills [...]

Mariana Madden, 20, Pima Community College:
I have created digital videos before and it inspired me to make more videos and share them with others. I have three big ideas for video stories: harvesting backyard produce, Type I Diabetes, and issues about refugee living in Tucson.

What I love most about VOICES is being in the studio recording my radio pieces. It has been challenging, but of course hard work pays off. One day I hope to be the greatest DJ from Tucson, Arizona.

Julian Juan, 19, Pima Community College:
I found out about VOICES from a friend who showed me a radio piece. It intrigued me because the story was about dumpster diving, but it was told in a way that made it a remarkable story. That’s what I like about VOICES: they inspire you to push yourself creatively [...]

Brian Hernandez, 15, Tucson High Magnet School:
Until I came to VOICES, taking a photo was just clicking a button for me. Here at VOICES you learn so much and the best part—besides all the cool people—is that it’s not like some assignment you have to do. Here, your story is something that you want to [...]

Tynan Scott Hartzell, 16, University High School:
I’ve always been interested in film. I feel that video is one of the most creative mediums of expression. When I discovered VOICES it seemed perfect—I would be able to follow my interest in video and share my stories while having a source of income.

Jacob Hardesty, 21:
I joined video because it seemed interesting and I’m down to learn new things. I always wrote a lot of songs and stories, just as a hobby, so I said, “Hey! Why not get into something that will help me along the way?”
