Contribute to our Call for Stories, and your story may be published in our next Be Bold book!

We launched our Be Bold program two years ago because we sensed a need among younger generations for inspiration as they searched for ways to embark on a career in social change. With the pressure for certain definitions of success among youth growing every year, combined with the powerful recruitment tools of Wall Street and other companies, we wanted to provide examples of how young people could choose their own unique path and create lives of meaningful impact.

Since we released the Be Bold book in 2006, we’ve received lots of responses telling us about how the stories have inspired young people and those who work with them—and that the book has filled a void that some didn’t even realize existed.

We’ve decided to write a second Be Bold book. This time, though, we’re going beyond our immediate network to find stories that might otherwise slip beneath our radar.

If you’d like to share your story of forging a life of meaningful impact (or a story about someone you know), please click here for more information. We can’t wait to hear from you!
