Voices of Hope (VOH) was born directly from the lived experience of its Co-founders and lived experience continues to be key today, as nearly all VOH’s 100 person staff are people in recovery. Since the beginning, VOH has focused on being responsive to the needs of the recovery community. Further, VOH is firmly rooted in research and evidence-based support as two of the Co-Founders are academic experts in the field. VOH understands the holistic needs of people in recovery and their friends and families what a Recovery Ready Community should entail to support those needs.
