New Voices is a photography and community engagement program for high school students in the Greater Cincinnati community.

New Voices begins its programming in August, 2009 with a group of SCPA creative writing students seeking a more meaningful connection with the Over the Rhine community in which their school is located. Students will partner with the Drop Inn Center, Cincinnati's largest homeless shelter to learn about its work and to form artistic collaborations with residents of the Center engaged in a creative writing program. Students will also learn about the extensive development program initiated by 3CDC to reinvigorate and ignite reinvestment in retail and residential development of Over the Rhine.
