OUR FOUNDER IS A CNN HERO

CNN bills their Heroes program as “Everyday people changing the world.” This honor has brought international recognition to Lost Voices, opening doors for our teams to change the lives of many more kids who need us. Mike’s Hero video below explains our process beautifully in just a little over six minutes, and lets you see the smiles of some of the kids we’ve worked with.

This CBS video provides a good overview of the Lost Voices process, and shows you the faces of some of the Lost Voices kids.


This was shot at a concert that featured some of the incredible young women we worked with. They performed their song, “Destination,” with the help of Jen Cass, Eric Janetsky, Kitty Donohoe, and Lost Voices founder Mike Ball.

Shot at the Adrian Girl’s Training School in 2007, this PBS interstitial piece was produced by Michigan Television, in partnership with Michigan Humanities Council and the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs.

This short video, produced by our partner youth service agency Samaritas, features one of the Lost Voices kids showing the impact the experience had on her.
