Changemaker Authors Cohort

Changemaker Authors Cohort is a yearlong intensive coaching program supporting full-time movement activists and social justice practitioners to complete books that create deep, durable narrative change, restructuring the way people feel, think, and respond to the world. To help create new networks of opportunity, Narrative Initiative is partnering with the Unicorn Authors Club to offer this unique writing cohort for changemaker-authors. Our first Changemaker Authors Cohort launched in early-2022.

Action and Organizing

We empower organizations and coalitions to surface deeply-held values and beliefs and create a vision statement--a Narrative North Star--which anchors their work and guides their narrative strategy across programs, communications, and action. Our work can also include power-mapping and capacity assessments.

Word Force

Word Force, a project of Narrative Initiative, provides ghostwriting services and robust communication strategy with a narrative lens to grassroots social justice organizations. We collaborate with Changemaker organizations to help them harness their narrative power and integrate it into all aspects of their work.
