Stories Change Power equips people who want to make a difference in their neighborhoods, communities, and country with the tools, strategy, and network to be effective advocates. In other words, we help hearts and minds reach the hearts and minds in power. This GlobalGiving project funds scholarships for people who cannot otherwise afford to join our small-by-design Learning Communities. We serve people in an array of fields and in various roles, across the country and political spectrum.
We all deserve policies that work for everyone. To get there, we need effective advocates. Unfortunately, traditional metrics of civic engagement show declines as how people participate in public life evolves. Many want to be involved but don't know how to be effective. People and organizations need the right tools, strategy, and network to create a just and peaceful future.
At Stories Change Power, we equip people who want to make a difference in their neighborhoods, communities, and country with the tools, strategy, and network to be effective advocates. Knowing the value of democracy and dangers of polarization, we build bridges and nurture trust. Participants learn to channel the power of narrative, blend stories and data, and center people who bear the brunt of the problem they seek to solve. Participants are matched with a mentor for ongoing support.
Done well, advocacy has the power to shape laws, policies, and systems to support a just and peaceful world. Stories Change Power's Learning Communities include people from across the country and political spectrum who want to be effective, empathetic, and trustworthy advocates. In addition to our own Communities, we co-host with organizations and groups seeking to increase impact, decrease training time, and decrease turnover, all in service of a stronger shared future.
