We build because of why we build.
Voice of Calling began in 2018 with a group of friends who loved coding and robotics, and it is still run by students.
Voice of Calling is a nonprofit organization established in 2018 to expand access to education, technology and opportunity for underserved communities worldwide.
Our work spans technology development, global education programs and community support across several countries. We design digital platforms, do applied research, teach AI and computer science, and give essential resources to schools and communities with limited access to opportunity.
From digital health innovation to international education programs, our mission is to reduce inequality, bridge the digital divide and create sustainable paths for growth. At its core, Voice of Calling is driven not only by what we build, but by why we build: to empower individuals, strengthen communities and inspire the next generation to make a difference.
We began as an in-person group. After the pandemic, more members joined from across the United States and Korea, so we moved online. We gather every Saturday to talk about how we can serve others better and make a bigger impact.
We do not let our age restrict the good we can do. With the resources given to us, we strive to do the most good.
01We listen. To the voices of the people we serve.
02We go. To those people, wherever they are.
03We work. For the people who need our hands.
