Voices That Changed
These are the moments that remind us why we do this work. Every child who walks onto that stage walks off a different person.
I moved to America not long ago and didn't know many English words. Standing on that stage and saying my speech out loud made me feel so proud.

1st grade · 2023 Competition finalist
Watching this year's students walk onto that stage reminds me why I keep coming back year after year to help however I can.
2025 Volunteer
Performing for my family and community at Carnegie Hall was a moment I'll never forget — it showed me what it means to share where I come from with pride.

What Educators Say
Multicultural exchange is the fundamental foundation of the United States of America and has been our greatest strength in the face of the many challenges we have faced as a nation.

NYS Assemblymember, 99th District
US STREAM gives students a rare kind of courage — the courage to speak in a new language, in front of the world, and be proud of where they come from.
Arts education is not a luxury — it's a necessity. US STREAM makes it possible for every child.
