Start with Story Exchange

The Story Exchange is a facilitated experience where students share, listen, and retell stories. It helps students feel heard and learn from one another’s perspectives.

Learn to Lead Story Exchanges

Facilitator Training teaches educators and student leaders to guide Story Exchanges. You’ll learn how to create welcoming spaces in your classroom or school community, utilizing this research-backed methodology.

Community Projects

Civic Engagement Projects help students move from storytelling to action. Students explore issues that matter to them and work together to create positive change.

As our students are going into a new no phone policy, our hope is that we can use the Story Exchange to help build connections amongst kids in the classes to start off the year and help build community.
