Local Voices: The Sound Partners Multimedia Publications

Local Voices was the bi-monthly, 6-issue multimedia publication of Sound Partners, the predecessor to New Routes, featuring stories, images, audio and video from the Sound partners projects across the country. All projects focused on improving the health of vulnerable people and many were specifically directed toward immigrants. Each issue tells the stories behind the stories and provides links to more information about the topics covered. One caveat—these documents were published over a one year period and the projects they cover took place over 10 years, so some of the many web links may have become obsolete.
