Individualized Programs and Training for Organizations and Businesses

Sharing Our Story’s work with culturally, economically and generationally diverse communities has empowered individuals and communities by enabling them to tell their stories. Many of our participants have fascinating stories to tell about immigrating to America and our local city; about the incredible hardships they went through to get here; about how they have survived violence, poverty, and other adversities.

Having these discussions, which start from the video presentations we assist in creating, yield amazing public discussions. They empower the participants, they create new friendships. They build bridges. 

We can share our expertise in doing this with your organization as well. Create authentic stories to support your organization’s mission.
