A World Where Everyone Can Thrive -
No Exceptions.

It's been said that "The solutions to all our problems may be buried in PDFs that nobody reads."

In other words, good ideas and smart research don't effortlessly become good laws and smart policies. If we want solutions, we need to persuade those with the power to implement them.

From decades of experience, we know that advocacy efforts are only as effective as the advocates involved.

That's why we created Stories Change Power.

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

Knowing the value of democracy and dangers of polarization, we build bridges and nurture trust.

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.

"Having a place to discuss ideas and issues in a candid way was uplifting."

"When it comes to the most helpful aspect of this program, it is hard to pick one aspect since so much of the experience was organic and cumulative. I think just having a place to discuss these ideas and issues in a candid way was incredibly helpful and uplifting."

Learning Community Participant

"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."

Learning Community Participant

"Helped me see things different, leading to new and better ways to approach my organization."

"Talking and listening to other participants gave me great ideas and helped me see things differently, leading to new and better ways to approach my organization's advocacy communications. The facilitator was amazing at creating a space where everyone felt respected, could work together, and share openly."
