Voice of Witness (VOW) is an oral history nonprofit that advances human rights by amplifying the voices of people impacted by—and fighting against—injustice through. VOW’s work supports essential storytelling, creating space for deep listening and learning as part of broader efforts to dismantle systems of oppression. Through programming and partnerships, VOW collaborates to document and center community voices, teach ethics-driven storytelling, and develop educational resources. Our work harnesses the power of oral history to create narrative change and a more inclusive, just world.

The VOW Book Series documents human rights issues through the oral histories of people who are deeply impacted and whose lived experiences are at the heart of solutions to address injustice. The series explores issues of inequity through the lens of first-person storytelling. 

The VOW Education Program brings unheard stories and our ethical oral history methodology to classrooms and organizations across the US, connecting students, educators, and advocates with training and tools for storytelling in order to advance social change. 

Through our partnerships and consulting, VOW offers expert storytelling and program support to organizations, schools, individuals, and more. These customized projects and workshops use VOW’s award-winning approach to promote empathy, build relationships, and amplify community voices.
