Story Ambassadors Application 2023
The Story Ambassadors Program is a 6-month program through Capital Storytelling that trains individuals to lead storytelling workshops in their communities and to facilitate story-sharing spaces.  During the program, Ambassadors will get group instruction as well as one-on-one training to support them in leading storytelling workshops. They will then work with our staff to set up workshops in their own community and lead them over the course of 2023. 

Ambassador initial training sessions: May 1, 8, 15, 22 @ 6 PM – 8:30 PM PT.

After the initial training, Ambassadors will have monthly group “check-in” meetings so that they can continue to grow as leaders; Ambassadors will also have one-on-one meetings with a mentor to support them in setting up workshops in the community.

Deadline to apply is March 15, 2022 @ 11:59 PM PT.
