The Association of Multiethnic Families Family Voices
The mission of Family Voices is to build and sustain a community of families of mixed background in Poland in order to ensure that young people of African descent who are growing up in Poland feel supported, confident and empowered. Education and advocating for equality, diversity and inclusion are integral to this mission.
