Our Story

Welcome to our newly enhanced website.  My name is Orlando Bowen and I am honoured to serve as the Executive Director of One Voice One Team.

The story of One Voice One Team is a simple yet unique one.  Our team brings an incredible range and diversity of life experiences and journeys of excellence. Each family member has inspirational life stories.  Each story is used to reach, empower, and enlighten the hearts and minds of the youth of today so they can become the leaders of today and tomorrow.  Through our stories, expertise and methodology, we have created many programs that have been proven to help youth make the necessary decisions that help move them towards success in their lives and in the community.

Through school programs and camps, One Voice One Team uses cognitive and physical activities to introduce the principles of "S.W.O.L.E." to young people. "S.W.O.L.E." is the essence of the program and stands for: Self Respect, Work Hard, Overcome ADVERSITY, Lead by EXAMPLE and Excellence. Upon graduation, our kids are inducted as lifetime members of the "S.W.O.L.E" family and become advocates of the "S.W.O.L.E." doctrine. This is demonstrated through their commitment to being hard working and responsible leaders in their community.  Many of them actively engage through community-focussed partner organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Covenant House to name a few.

In every program we will lead by example while youth develop leadership skills and embrace responsibility through inspiration, fitness, mentorship, and character building from high performance athletes, community leaders and accomplished motivational speakers.
