Partnering with CSS

Thank you for your interest in partnering with CSS.

CSS works to nurture the radical imagination of frontline communities, and to grow the narrative capacity, skills, practice and impact of movement institutions and leaders that serve them through a range of partnership services — from customized Story-based Strategy trainings, to narrative coaching and technical assistance, to narrative project and campaign design and strategies. 

We practice accompaniment and accountability with social justice movements. While some of our movement partnerships extend over 6-8 months, other deep partnerships have extended over several years. We co-create and imagine with partners based on a combination of factors, including shared values and vision, availability of our team of narrative practitioners and trainers, timing with our overall work, and alignment with our Theory of Change.

At this time, we are accepting inquiries for new narrative strategy trainings & partnerships beginning in Spring 2025. In order to assess your request, please fill out the inquiry form below. There are 19 questions and the form should take you about 45-60 minutes to complete. We recommend working on the form responses collaboratively with at least one additional peer, teammate or collaborator, for more robust and representative answers.

Are you looking for immediate training opportunities instead? Check out our public training calendar or take our self-paced online workshop, Intro to Story-based Strategy Core Concepts.
