What We Do
Strengthen Democracy Through Storytelling:
At Creative Civics, we believe thriving democracies rely on open communication between constituents and their elected officials. That's why we empower people 14 and up to use their personal stories as powerful tools for advocacy and social change.
We partner with:
- Schools: Igniting student civic engagement and understanding of democracy.
- Community organizations: Equipping volunteers and staff to advocate for their causes.
- Non-profits: Training staff to effectively champion their missions.
Our training covers:
- Crafting impactful narratives: Connecting personal experiences to policy change.
- Mastering storytelling techniques: Utilizing various mediums to enhance emotional appeal.
Connecting you with power:
Creative Civics facilitates direct engagements with elected officials and staffers, enabling you to:
- Share your stories and be heard.
- Build relationships with your civic leaders.
- Make a lasting impact on the issues you care about.
Join us! Let's turn personal stories into collective action and build a stronger democracy, one conversation at a time.
