The NGO was started in 2012 by Ms. Anusha Bharadwaj, Executive Director at Voice 4 Girls. Though VOICE’s chief beneficiaries are adolescent girls, the organization recognized the pressing need to involve boys in discussions pertaining to gender and inequalities that are so deeply rooted in the Indian psyche.

VOICE Camps are conducted by motivated college students who are hired and trained intensively to impart the curriculum. The NGO organises camps separately for boys and girls namely “Her Voice” for girls and “Boys 4 Voice” for boys. VOICE offers an innovative training to college students who act as counselors to maximize their teaching potential and create positive learning environment in classroom. Field Coordinators work closely with Counselors and VOICE staff to accomplish the overall mission of the programme by attending to the safety and well-being and of the participants. They are incharge of logistics and prepare reports namely Quality Control Report, Camper Data and Impact Assessment Sheets.

Voice 4 Girls Parichay Camp and Sakhi Peer Leadership Program The programme, “Her Voice” is implemented in three phases namely Her Voice Parichay, Disha, and Sakhi Peer Leadership programme.
