Welcome to the International Storytelling Center, a place where every tale is a vibrant thread woven into the rich tapestry of culture, imagination, and human connection.

At ISC, we are passionate about preserving and celebrating the art of storytelling—an age-old tradition that transcends boundaries, bridges cultures, and has the power to transform lives.

Imagine a world where every story serves as a beacon of hope, a source of wisdom, and a bridge between the past and the future.  This is the world we’re building—one story at a time—and with your support, you become an essential part of that journey.

By becoming a monthly giver, you are not just donating to a cause; you are sustaining a legacy—a legacy started by ISC’s founder, the late Jimmy Neil Smith. At the heart of our mission is his belief that stories are more than just words. They are living, breathing entities that connect us to our roots and pave the way for future generations. They are the songs of our ancestors, the lessons of history, and the dreams of tomorrow. Storytelling preserves tradition, celebrates individuality, and sparks innovation.  Please consider joining us on this journey.
