- Welcome to the OurStoryBridge Tool Kit
Disclaimer: The information in this User Guide is offered in good faith and believed to be reliable. It is provided for informational purposes only and not intended to provide specific advice.
This User Guide is intended to serve as an instructional reference as you consider launching and realizing an OurStoryBridge project for your community. Its copious detail will help you to capture, retain, communicate and publicize the unique stories that make your community yours—in a manner fitting the 21st century.
This User Guide and the supplementary training materials below, Sample Documents, How-To Videos, and Teacher’s Guide, can help you facilitate the creation of your own OurStoryBridge project and use stories from all OurStoryBridge projects in classrooms across the country.
If you need additional support beyond the OurStoryBridge User Guide and supplementary training materials, we invite you to contact us at createyourstoryproject@gmail.com. We can provide communities with additional direct assistance, at no charge, via telephone, email, and in-person meetings. Our work is dependent on funding, but substantial services are supplied by volunteers.

- Teacher's GuideThese downloadable documents, How to Use the Teacher’s Guide, Adirondack Community Story Selection Chart, and Sample School Assignment will get you started as you use stories in your classroom. As more story projects come online additional charts from other communities will be added, although the Adirondack Community stories hold lessons for your students no matter where they are.
