Synopsis
We have a crisis of civic leadership at a time when it is most urgently needed. Good leaders seem hard to find on screen and off. But so many unexpected, inspiring, and entertaining stories are waiting to be told!
The Civic Leadership Stories Project supports scriptwriters, showrunners, producers, talent, and other creatives telling storylines about characters who are shaking up how things are done in places of power. These storylines can inspire audiences to get involved with voting, advocacy, and public service.

“The whole program was very eye opening. It opened up my perspective as a writer in looking at characters.”
“You opened my mind to how I've been stuck in a narrow lane of what types of civic action/leadership characters to portray. I left the brief presentation feeling excited about the infinite storylines to explore.”
“The ideas about how the stories we tell about civic leadership have a lasting effect on the community is really sticking with me. I'm thinking a lot about how to keep these types of stories positive.”
