Job description

Voice of Witness (VOW) is an oral history nonprofit that advances human rights by amplifying the voices of people impacted by - and fighting against - injustice. VOW's work is driven by the transformative power of the story, and by a strong belief that social justice cannot be achieved without deep listening and learning from those marginalized by systems of oppression. Through our programming, we work with communities to ensure that:

• voices of marginalized and silenced communities are centered in narrative contexts (education, media, movements, and policymaking);
• students and communities have the tools and training to tell their own stories through oral history;
• storytelling practitioners and institutions use ethics-driven methodologies to gather narratives.

The VOW Book Series depicts human rights issues through the edited oral histories of people, VOW narrators, who are most deeply impacted and at the heart of solutions to address injustice. The series explores issues of race-, gender-, and class-based inequity through the lenses of personal narrative. The VOW Education Program brings unheard stories and our ethical oral history methodology to classrooms and organizations across the US, connecting students, educators, and advocates with training and tools for storytelling in order to advance social change. Through our partnerships and consulting, VOW offers expert storytelling and program support to nonprofits, advocates, schools, foundations, and more. These customized projects and workshops use VOW's award-winning approach to promote empathy, build relationships, and amplify community voices.
