Programs

Our mission often aligns with the work of other organizations and academic institutions seeking to meet the needs of people who have been forced to flee their homes. Through collaborative programs and projects, we can leverage our common purpose to strengthen our impact and mutually enlarge our reach in creating communities of welcome and belonging.

StoryRise, from Their Story Is Our Story, is a 10-week mentorship program connecting aspiring content creators (18-24 years old) with professionals in social media, videography, and advocacy storytelling. You'll develop real skills through weekly assignments and one-on-one guidance. The content you create will directly support the fight against immigration disinformation.

What would you do if you had to leave everything behind?

By the end of 2025, more than 117.8 million people worldwide had been forcibly displaced by war, persecution, or human rights abuses — and 45 million of them are children.

They arrive in refugee camps and countries seeking safety and carrying little: legal papers, if they're lucky. A backpack. A child's hand in theirs.

What they carry that we can't see is heavier: fractured families, homes they'll never return to, professions they loved, friends and relatives they may never see again.

In a climate where immigrant stories are often ignored or twisted, we believe stories are a form of justice. When someone shares what they survived, they reclaim their voice. When we amplify it through film, photography, and advocacy, the world listens. Hearts soften. Policy begins to shift.

Because when a lawmaker sees a person instead of a statistic, and a neighbor understands instead of fears, rebuilding becomes possible.

Your support helps us share these stories where they matter most.
