Who We Are
Urban VOICE is an all-volunteer organization made up of progressive, common people contributing their creativity and practical experience to formulate media products that will inform and inspire individuals and communities towards understanding and action for the common good.

Urban VOICE was founded in 1997 as a technology training center for low income urban residents of Oakland, CA. During a six-year span, the center trained over 2000 students in computer hardware and software technology. In 2004, because of escalating federal deficits, funding was severely cut by President Bush. As a result, Urban VOICE shut its doors as an educational institute and has reemerged as a video production company emphasized on educational documentaries for both public education and the general public.
