Building Bridges to Careers (BB2C) and CivicLab are inviting you to share your story about inspiring young people and building the future of your community.

This storytelling effort is part of a national partnership between BB2C and CivicLab, a nonprofit institute that works with communities to strengthen collaboration, improve educational and workforce outcomes, and support economic development. CivicLab’s work centers on learning in systems. 

This storytelling tool seeks to capture local stories to better understand how cross-sector partnerships can unlock new opportunities for young people and the communities they live in.

Your story will help illuminate the tools, relationships, and processes that support this work and to help us uncover where there may be untapped potential to go even further.

This storytelling experience will take about 20 minutes and includes a few short reflections and paragraph responses. Everything you share will remain anonymous, but your insights will play a critical role in helping BB2C and CivicLab refine their shared theory of change: a big-picture understanding of what drives meaningful, lasting impact for students, educators, employers, and communities.

We’re especially eager to hear about your real-world experiences. Every story helps.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this important work. By telling your story, you’re helping us uncover what’s working, what’s needed, and how we can better support the growth of Community and Career Connected Learning ecosystems across the country.

Share your story today—and help us build stronger bridges between education, career, and community.
