In 2004 smartMeme launched our youth training and movement-building program, STORY (Strategy Training and Organizing Resources for Youth). This innovative leadership program provides young activists with training, strategy support, and a peer network to apply story-based strategies. STORY has already trained over 1,000 activists in  20 states, and amplified the work of 15 different youth-based organizations through capacity-building partnerships.

STORY activists share a commitment to social change and an awareness of the power of stories in our lives and work. We  apply media literacy and narrative power analysis to campaigning for peace, global economic justice, and ecological sanity. We spread the tools and analysis of story-based strategy, and convene collaboratives to build movements.
