Dialogue powered by first-person narrative.

Schools and educators lack comprehensive tools to deal with issues of racial and sexual discrimination in k-12 education.

The school experience provides the major social context in which young people in our society experience the larger world.  But resources to address these experiences and the impacts that these experiences have on our society’s young people are few. And, when these resources do exist, often times they are focused on the victims of racial and sexual discrimination rather than the broader societal problem.

The Empathy Archive uses the power of first-person narratives to create educational and social emotional learning tools for addressing racial, ethnic, and sexual discrimination in our society.

Queer youth and youth of color are excluded from the conversations that directly impact their being in our society.

The Empathy Archive helps to create a space for dialogue around discrimination in the classroom with professionally collected and curated first-person narratives.
