Since 1989, Spellbinders volunteers have shared their stories with thousands of Denver Public Schools students, growing from 6 members in 1989 to over 60 currently.

In January, 2002 an orientation and training for all new storytellers will be offered.

You may sign up for the training and help spread the gift of storytelling in the Denver Public Schools. Volunteer today! For more information on this training or Spellbinders, please call Louise Gerber at 720-423-3694 or email to: louise_gerber@dpsk12.org.

Spellbinders is a national organization that provides volunteer training and materials in the art of oral storytelling. The mission of Spellbinders is to create connections between generations through the art of storytelling in order to pass on the wisdom, values, humor, and sense of community embodied in stories of all cultures and all times. Spellbinders volunteers tell stories of their choice from folktales to personal experiences, emphasizing stories that reflect the Spellbinders mission.
