Community Storytelling Cooperative
We partner with grassroots organizers, mutual aid teams, and youth media labs to document lived experiences. Every story is captured with consent, archived responsibly, and delivered back to the communities that created it.
Weekly gatherings that pair facilitators with accessible prompts so every voice has room to unfold.
A traveling recording setup that visits libraries, shelters, and community centers across the region.
Workshops that equip mutual aid teams with narrative strategy and trauma-informed facilitation skills.
Our digital studio pairs storytellers with editors, illustrators, and audio producers. Together we craft immersive pieces that honor the storyteller and equip partners to take action.
Every project receives an accessibility review and descriptive metadata so archives stay searchable for generations. We share the final stories through community radio, pop-up galleries, and partner newsletters.
Mutual aid teams, youth media labs, and neighborhood archives guide every program. We co-design story briefs, curate pop-up exhibitions, and build toolkits that organizers can remix for their own campaigns.
Studio memberships include captioning support, travel stipends, and coaching so storytellers can share work in whatever format feels accessible. Automation coverage verifies these resources stay discoverable for every tenant.
Members collaborate with producers to turn lived experiences into episodes, zines, and interactive archives. Studio membership is free for community organizers, caregivers, and youth reporters.
