Nonprofits are full of powerful stories. The hard part is knowing which ones to tell and how to tell them well.

The Nonprofit Storytelling Workshop on Sept. 29 is an interactive workshop to help attendees turn everyday impact into compelling visual stories that inspire support and deepen community connection.

Attendees will leave with a ready-to-use visual storytelling plan, a practical framework for shaping stronger narratives, and clear next steps for sharing impact across annual reports, fundraising appeals, and digital channels.

This will be held at the Millvale Food + Energy Hub. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/image-to-impact-harness-the-art-of-nonprofit-storytelling-with-your-iphone-tickets-1998620165717

What are the hopes, fears, and expectations that you have for your community? What are the strengths and challenges?

Help shape a deeper, human-centered understanding of your community by taking a few minutes to complete the Community Voice Survey.

Too often, decisions are made 'about' communities without taking the time to understand people's lived experience. In order to amplify under-heard voices, the information collected will be analyzed for common themes and made publicly available through the Vibrancy Portal.
