Be an Angel
An Angel Investor in the Nonprofit StoryArk
The stories we tell each other open minds, diffuse polarization and make space for conversation
Stories build bridges to new beginnings
Enter into a world where creative play becomes reality and imagination develops skills that build a better world. StoryArk empowers generations young and old to voice their stories in all their diversity in a myriad of ways. Whether fiction or non-fiction, episodic novel, personal narrative or radio interview, stories provide meaning and context, shape who we are, give us a sense of identity and inspire us to go new directions. The narratives we tell not only transform ourselves, but society as well. What's your story? How are you going to tell it? Say it, write it, film it, sing it, draw it. Because it matters.
