What The Voice Inc. does

The Voice Inc. (TVI) is a Papua New Guinea-registered non-profit organization founded in 2007 at the University of Papua New Guinea as a student movement to create civic space for youth voice, leadership development, and collective action. Headquartered in Port Moresby with the DREAM Hub as its operational center, TVI serves young Papua New Guineans — primarily university students, high school student leaders, church youth leaders, and community organizers — across 22 provinces through a multi-program ecosystem.

The organization's core programs include the DREAM Program (signature personal development and leadership training), the Local Leadership and Collective Action Program (LLCAP) which integrates Harvard Kennedy School's PDIA methodology, the CleanGen Innovation Grants Program (which has funded 37+ community projects across 17 provinces since 2018), and the CleanGen Academy — an online learning platform launched in 2024 providing free digital access to leadership courses, grant applications, and community resources. Physical delivery occurs through Centres for Leadership in 8 PNG provinces plus a Brisbane, Australia hub, and through Clean Generation Clubs in high schools and partnerships with churches and NGOs. Supporting media products include the ACTION television series on SARV and the CleanGen Spotlight documentary series.

TVI operates a grant-funded business model with no commercial revenue: all programming is free to beneficiaries, and funding flows primarily from the Australian Government through the PNGAus Partnership for the LLCAP program, supplemented by corporate partners, church networks, and individual supporters. The organization employs 28 staff to operate its national footprint and reports 4,500+ formal alumni and 3,500+ CleanGen members reaching 40,000+ people through programs.
