Story of Self: Using Stories as Tools for Social Change

Presented by Sarah Inskeep, Regional Field Manager for Planned Parenthood, Greater Ohio, Columbus.

Come to this Skill Builder and learn to use stories at tools for social change. Storytelling is very important in advocacy. Stories move others to action. You will learn how to use public narrative. You will receive the components needed to create your own story of self. You will leave ready to teach and encourage your volunteers to tell their stories.

Registration and Location

Submit your nominations for the 2017 CAVA Awards and honor your volunteers, your volunteer administrators, your organization, and your community!

Help celebrate the people and places that help you achieve your mission, by nominating top performers in four categories:
Outstanding Volunteer Manager
Outstanding Volunteer Program

Volunteering is about stepping up and encouraging individuals and their communities to be at the center of social change. This is a great opportunity to take action and promote those who are demonstrating their collective power to foster positive transformation on behalf of your agency. A few minutes of your time can mean a huge boost of support and recognition for your volunteers, corporate partners, and your manager!

All nominees and winners will be honored at the Annual CAVA Membership Meeting in November and the agency that nominates the the winner in each category will receive a $250 award for use in their volunteer program.
