In September, Spellbinders – a national organization that provides volunteer training and materials in the art of oral storytelling – will hold an orientation and training for all new storytellers. This four-day training will be held at the Denver Public Schools Administration Building, 900 Grant St. Room 108, Denver, from 12:30-3 p.m. on: Tuesday, Sept. 16; Thursday, Sept. 18; Tuesday, Sept. 23; and Thursday, Sept. 25.

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

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 louise_gerber@dpsk12.org.
