Storyteller Matinee
The 2024–2025 Storyteller Matinee has officially wrapped, and what an incredible journey it’s been. This year’s Award Ceremony was a vibrant gathering of voices, stories, and communities coming together to celebrate the power of storytelling.
We are thrilled to recognize 20 outstanding students who each received a $1,000 award for their inspiring work and dedication to making a difference. Their stories remind us of the impact one voice can have when shared with the world.
To everyone who applied, thank you for your courage, creativity, and commitment. Whether or not you received an award this year, your contributions matter. Keep sharing your story, keep shaping your community, and know that there will always be space for your voice in future cycles.
Town Hall with Congresswoman Jacobs
We are so grateful to have hosted our first in-person mentorship seminar with Congresswoman Sara Jacobs
This was an incredible opportunity for our students to gain insight on how to get involved professionally in politics and community organizing — directly from someone who’s done it herself.
Congresswoman Jacobs is a champion for young people entering politics and public service. Her path from behind-the-scenes policy work to elected leadership made her an especially valuable speaker for students interested in building careers in political organizing, advocacy, and government.
