2nd Story
2nd Story, one of Chicago’s oldest storytelling organizations, exists to fulfill its vision of living in a world driven by empathy. The organization’s work is rooted in the belief that sharing true, personal stories can change the world, and its mission is to create spaces where people can share and deeply listen to one another’s stories. 2nd Story’s work is activated by its Core Values: Craft, Courage, and Inclusion, and is ‘Art with a Purpose.’ Since its founding in 1999, 2nd Story has found meaningful, authentic ways to engage in local and national conversations via its stories.
