for the storytellers love, the archive
We're a collective of creators and dreamers who believe the best stories start when you say yes; not when you're ready Our Supporters
We partner with organizations and individuals who believe in the potential of people. Together, we’re tearing down the barriers that hold young people back, giving them the chance to say yes to bold ideas and adventures that can change their lives. the archive If you’ve got a scene in your head that won’t leave you alone, we want to help you press play. change my life Frequently Asked Questions Do I need to document the journey? As part of our grant, you’ll need to document your journey. Think scrappy videos of your experiences and moments, or a blog documenting your journey. We’ll ask for a $50 refundable deposit, and you’ll get it back when you submit your final documentation. We will provide a playbook with guidelines for what to include :)
There’s no strict age limit. We’re looking for curious, self-motivated people ready to take on an adventure that feels true to them.

Can I apply with a friend or as a group? Absolutely. just make sure your application reflects the shared story and how funds will be used. only person should apply.

vacations for the sake of chilling (I feel you tho), startups, school projects or existing obligations
