The above featured video is our first of many, to tell our story and share our vision for Storiboard Nation. We’re working hard to meet the needs of our members who shared their feedback on the type of online community and mobile app they desired. There’s been many sleepless nights to build an online environment that is free of bullying, discrimination, intolerance, and toxic role models.

Yesterday we launched a crowdfunding campaign to cover the development costs of this phase of our buildout. Your support would help us open the virtual doors of Storiboard Nation this Fall to the various mentoring organizations, schools, programs, and groups, who are all very eager to experience the new and improved Storiboard Nation.

Imagine connecting with positive role models from around the world using your mobile device, tablet, or computer?

Imagine teachers, parents, counselors, principals, coaches, and librarians all connecting with each other online—and most importantly, connecting with our youth who need guidance, support, and encouragement—especially during non-school hours.

Being a role model isn’t about being perfect, it’s about sharing your stories. We hope that you will share yours on Storiboard Nation very soon!
