How It Works

Our simple process creates meaningful connections through personal storytelling.

  1. Borrow a Living Book
  2. Have a Conversation
  3. Walk Away Changed

1. Borrow a Living Book

Choose from real people who volunteer to share their lived experiences - a refugee, a former addict, someone who's been homeless, a person with disabilities.

2. Have a Conversation

Engage in a 30-minute open dialogue in a safe, respectful environment where questions are encouraged.

3. Return with a Changed Perspective

Walk away with new insights, challenged assumptions, and a deeper understanding of diverse experiences.
