Everybody has a story to tell, and storytelling brings families and communities together.
Americans All is a nonprofit community outreach program that specifically benefits non-curricular school activities and small business/service providers by using a unique storytelling tool and turnkey fundraising approach. Our revenue-generating storytelling tool facilitates legacy preservation, enables students to communicate better and helps small businesses succeed. Families can also use this tool to pass on knowledge and experiences to current and future generations. Without this information, children will neither understand their roots nor develop their ethnic and cultural identity. In addition, storytelling brings communities together by sharing people’s common histories, rather than their differences. Schools, students and students’ families and friends and members of nonprofit organizations participate in Americans All at no cost and receive a free, one-year trial to our Social Legacy Network.
What makes us unique is that we include verified historical information—presented in multiple, nonpolitical perspectives—to provide context for these stories and the experiences, observations and accomplishments reflected in them.
Local businesses, service providers and cottage industries participate in our program as Business Legacy Partners, for a nominal fee. They can leverage stories about their business or practice to build closer relationships with current and future customers and clients. They can also use our program to share discounts on their goods and services with Americans All Social Legacy Network members.
Despite our successful distribution of classroom resources to more than 2,000 schools and libraries nationwide, we aim to stay clear of the divisive politics that are now affecting the areas of curriculum in many schools. That is why we focus on non-curricular activities. In addition, we are also offering to help families that lost a member(s) to COVID-19 to gain closure and to permanently preserve the memories, contributions and achievements of their loved one(s). In this regard, we also need to recognize the incredible, unselfish work of the first responders who risked their own lives to help those in need.
