A full listing is found at storycrossroads.org/member.
We will launch the Story Crossroads Academy, self-led online storytelling courses, on April 1, 2021. The Basics Storytelling Course takes about 8 hours to complete and is free to anyone. More details will be shared as it approaches. Meanwhile, please enjoy the 9 1/2 video above on the fundraising to include
