Housing counselors change lives every day. Your clients are more than numbers that go in a report – they’re a living, breathing part of your community. More people should hear their stories, learn how you help them, and understand why this work matters to you.
But collecting these stories and figuring out how to tell them to funders, potential clients, and the community is a continual struggle for housing counseling agencies.
During this webinar, Housing Action Illinois’ Kristin Ginger and Marissa Diekhoff will explore ways to incorporate story collection into your existing workload and how to craft compelling narratives, even when you only have thirty seconds to talk or 140 characters to tweet.
After attending this training, you will be better prepared to:
- Identify and collect good stories as you encounter them
- Edit stories for different audiences
- Adapt a story for use on multiple platforms (such as social media, a newsletter, or your annual report)
