JANUARY 2026 AWARD PROGRAM

Featured on FOX5 and KUSI News, The Wright Voice Award Program empowered teens to share their stories with courage and authenticity. Their voices were published in The Wright Voice: January 2026 Collection, and a signed copy was later auctioned for $3,500 in support of the youth at Father Joe’s Villages, proving the life changing impact of giving young voices a platform to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
