Young Voices Founders Society is an intimate evening honoring Young Voices’ most dedicated community champions, those who have stood with our youth, invested in their leadership, and believed in their power to shape Rhode Island’s future.

At a time when youth voice, racial equity, and educational opportunity face increasing challenges, your support is not just appreciated... it is essential. Because of you, young people are not only at the table, they are leading the conversation.

Each year, we present the Perri Leviss Award to one extraordinary member of our community who goes above and beyond in support of our organization and our youth. This individual embodies deep commitment, generosity, and creativity, showing up in meaningful and often unexpected ways to move our mission forward.

Join us as we celebrate this year’s Founders Society inductees and honor our 2026 Perri Leviss Award recipient.

Together, we reaffirm what’s possible when community champions invest in the next generation of leaders.
