Center for Story-based Strategy offers story as the starting point, a universal approach to understanding how our words and actions can interact with and challenge the narrative threads that preserve power-over and oppression in the world.
We are movement builders.
Building Skills
Training Program
Skills and capacity developed through our trainings are applicable across work areas, issues and disciplines. Our trainings support changemakers rooted in frontline-led social movements to analyse the narrative context of their work, and to strategically intervene to #ChangeTheStory. From art to organizing, to messaging, design, and beyond — the story-based strategy framework is applicable to your work towards just futures.
Building Movement Community
Network Weaving
Our national organizing of communities of practice brings story-based strategists into relationships of mutual support, strategy, and creative thinking.

Building Alignment & Accountability
Partnerships Program
We partner with frontline-led movement projects to build the capacity of bottom-up leadership to shape the visions and goals for our movements, through democratic and participatory processes — building narrative power and movement accountability for the grassroots.
Building Vision for a Just Transition
Movement Leadership
We work to facilitate the weaving of Just Transition visions across our movements for justice. From our work with Climate Justice Alliance and directly with its member organizations, as well as in workshops and strategy sessions across many other organizations and sectors, we constantly ask about, lift up, and work to synthesize the diverse stories contributing to this vision.
