“With Adam and Jenn as our guides, we've learned the structures of storytelling and the power of story at Carroll. We are using stories to both communicate our own lived experiences and learn more deeply about others. This is a powerful tool of engagement, understanding, belonging, and deep connection.
Storytelling is permeating our school community. With every team -- academic, leadership, admissions, and advancement - there are stories to tell that support our mission to give every child what they most need to thrive. Now, thanks to Story Bridge, we are better equipped to tell these compelling stories.”

"Story Bridge created the conditions for our students to feel safe enough to be truly seen. What a gift ... Typically, students describe the process of crafting and drafting essays as the most burdensome part of the college application process. In contrast, our parent population is raving about how their kids bonded through these workshops. After night one, juniors arrived home excited. On day two, they were motivated to move forward. At the conclusion of the workshops, they reported an 81% increase in confidence ... Story Bridge helped deepen our connection with our juniors while simultaneously increasing parent confidence. Moreover, our team had a BLAST with Jenn and Adam.."
