Because All Voices

Deserve To Be Heard

At Verbal Vortex it is our core belief that all voices are special and deserve to be heard. We created the ConfidenceBuilders Division for those special education and learning/language disabled children who would normally never dream of entering a competition. This category is non-competitive and designed to provide a mentored experience that will allow these incredible youth to shine in an uplifting, caring, and supportive environment that will build confidence, self esteem, and a sense of accomplishment.
