To Tell Stories is to Hope for the Better

This coming year, we hope to focus in on our mission to give those typically unheard in our communities the tools to harness their voices. And we’re inviting you to help us.

 
 
 
 

In 2015, we ignited a storytelling movement that has grown into story hours, videos, podcasts, and workshops empowering our most marginalized and silenced, such as our homeless, our elderly, our mentally-ill, our youth, and our trans populations, to process and own their stories of struggle, oppression, and trauma. You play a critical role in providing a platform to uplift these unheard voices. Join us to celebrate and support this movement to:

USE STORytelling TO bridge divided communities.
