Background
Founded in 2015, Voices of Hope Children’s Choir is a non-profit program made up of over 70 talented children, ages 5-17, of all backgrounds and levels of experience. In an effort to make music available to all children despite social or economic barriers, this program is entirely tuition free. Singing inspirational music, the goal of the choir is to uplift the spirits of all who listen and to learn positive self esteem and teamwork along the way. We hope to change the world one song at a time. [1]
One of the kids in the choir is a patient of fellow Season 13 act Michael Ketterer.

The group finished in fourth, fifth or sixth place in America's Vote. In the Dunkin' Save, they received fewer online votes than Samuel J. Comroe. In the Judges' Choice, Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell voted for them but Howie Mandel and Mel B did not, forcing a tiebreaker; whichever act had received more votes from America would progress. They received fewer votes than Duo Transcend, eliminating them from the competition in Episode 1318.
