Story-Centered Impact in Action

Over the last decade, we’ve worked with school districts, universities, and cross-sector organizations to implement our Story-Centered Impact model to support their work. From developing programs for undocumented students to leading a community-driven health equity project to co-developing an art exhibition, our approach has successfully helped our clients and partners.
