Stories to Inspire Change

We provide training, workshops, and coaching to equip people to be effective, empathetic, and trusted advocates.

Our approach harnesses the transformative power of storytelling, combining narratives, research, and data to drive change. We center those most impacted by the issues, engage decision-makers who can create solutions, and ground our strategies in today’s realities while envisioning a just and peaceful future.

Through storytelling, we aim to shift cultural understanding, influence public policy, and advance justice.

Testimonials

"Incredibly valuable and uplifting."

It's hard to pinpoint the single most helpful aspect of this program because the experience felt so organic and cumulative. However, having a space to openly and candidly discuss ideas and issues was incredibly valuable and uplifting.

"Learning Community is incredibly validating."

"Make the time to join a learning community. The insight you get from getting outside of your day-to-day context and joining a Learning Community is incredibly validating. Everyone in the group had such different jobs from one another but we were all able to discuss and share ideas about the biggest issues we face in advocacy communications."
