Our Programs
At Every 1 Voice Matters, we empower children and families to find their voices, recognize their strengths, and become the best versions of themselves. We create welcoming spaces where children feel seen, heard, and valued, with programs that encourage confidence, kindness, resilience, and a positive mindset.
Through storytelling, the Lil Herbie Series® children’s books, interactive learning, and coaching, we help children explore their feelings, embrace their differences, and discover what is possible. Representation matters. When children see themselves reflected in stories and characters, they can feel a stronger sense of belonging and imagine new possibilities for their own lives.
β
Our school assemblies and visits featuring Lil Herbie bring these lessons to life through engaging experiences that promote literacy, friendship, bullying prevention, and self-belief. We encourage children to use their voices, treat others with kindness, and celebrate what makes each person unique.
Through community outreach, we meet families where they are, connect them with essential resources, and bring people together through events, educational opportunities, and support. Working alongside schools, local organizations, and community partners, we help families meet everyday needs while creating opportunities for connection and growth.
β
We also equip adults to better support the young people in their lives. Through Youth Mental Health First Aid training, we help parents, caregivers, educators, and community members recognize signs of mental health challenges, respond with care, and connect youth with appropriate support.
Our early drug prevention and intervention initiatives help young people develop coping skills, make informed choices, and build healthier futures. Together, our programs strengthen the support surrounding children at home, in school, and throughout their communities.
β
We believe that when children have encouragement, opportunities, and adults who listen, they can grow with confidence—and when families have support, entire communities can thrive.
