In the summer of 2018, a group of middle schoolers bravely stepped up to a mic, one by one, to share a diverse range of lived experiences in front of their peers, all of whom were listening with open hearts. It was our first Wildling workshop and it inspired us to keep going.

While the core of what we do in each Wildling workshop stays the same, the experience is uniquely guided by the group of storytellers participating.  We carefully select a team of Story Coaches to plan lessons using exercises from our Jambook to scaffold the process of story development and presentation. Every workshop culminates in a Story Jam, when we gather around the mic to share in front of an audience of peers (and sometimes special guests). It’s part of our specialty.
