The Immigrant Story Information

At The Immigrant Story (TIS), we document and archive the voices and stories of immigrants in short, accessible visual and written formats. Our vision is to provide curated, and relevant content to enhance empathy and create an inclusive community. Our goal is both to advance the national dialogue and to dispel myths about new Americans through strong, thoughtful, narratives. We are a team of volunteer journalists, storytellers, writers, photographers, graphic designers, web developers and marketing specialists. More than 20 volunteers pool their talents, skills and experience to report and disseminate stories of immigrants and refugees. We promote conversations on important topics by bringing our stories to public spaces. These projects are firmly rooted in storytelling — both visual and narrative — that we hope encourages exploration and reflection.
