Giving Voice Initiative

Outreach: gvi builds awareness and understanding of the power of participating in choral singing for those with alzheimer's. This outreach is done by educating the community through national conferences, community presentations, partnerships with research organizations, and national leadership gatherings for dementia-friendly choruses around the country.

Consulting: gvi supports the launch and sustainability of new choruses for persons living with alzheimer's and their care partners. Gvi provides consulting expertise on alzheimer's programming and musical/arts production to maximize the potential of course design and community performances that change the stigma of alzheimer's. This consulting includes the use of the gvi toolkit, an online downloadable resource that provides a step-by-step guide for persons interested in a chorus, quarterly webinars, and the gv learning community, a network of choruses around the globe committed to sharing best practices.
