Stories for Social Good
Discover the power of storytelling to change the world.
In our Stories for Social Good Program, we partner with nonprofit organizations to help them use storytelling to inspire, educate, and bring people together.
We offer free trainings to a selected number of nonprofits to help them use stories to tackle some of the most pressing social and environmental challenges of our time. That includes climate change, environmental protection, peace-building, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, and animal welfare.
What we offer

“Philipp offered us a great storytelling workshop where we learned how to transform our stories into something people actually want to hear!
We had a good laugh trying to put our new skills together to create more ‘juicy’ stories, but it really made a huge difference.”

FAQs
The workshops are free. It’s our chance to use stories to make the world a better place. There are only costs, if it requires us to travel. In these cases, partners are responsible for covering our travel and accommodations.
Ideally, three months in advance. But, feel free to check with us to see if we can accommodate any training with an earlier notice.
Apply even if you’re unsure! We believe in everyone’s unique experiences and common bonds, and our work supports a variety of missions, projects, and identities.
Both are possible, but virtual trainings are usually easier to coordinate.
