The vision of the Chaffee County storytelling initiative is to unite Chaffee County residents by recognizing that every member of our community has experiences and stories that contribute to the fabric of our culture. By sharing our stories intentionally, and listening intently, we can identify the similarities between us and understand a bit better the impact that our collective policy decisions have on one another.  Sharing stories can empower individuals who have historically been silent, due to perceived positions of power.
