The LFVC Contributor Collective
A creative network reimagining how stories are told—and who tells them
Join a mission-aligned community of writers, artists, and facilitators helping people see themselves in stories—and creating public experiences where those stories come to life.
What Contributors Bring to
The Collective
Storytelling Power
Writers, photographers, and creatives help shape original features for Amplify by LFVC

From quote walls to timelines, visual storytellers help make our work tangible and memorable.

Contributors guide live StoryLab events, salons, and civic storytelling experiences.
Community Connection
Contributors root our work in lived experience and local context
We prioritize creatives connected to the people and places we serve.
Collaborative Creation
We build with—not just for—communities
Our Collective works alongside LFVC’s core team to co-create content, experiences, and impact.
How It Works
The Collective Process
We’re building the LFVC Contributor Collective with care. This is not an open call for anyone, but a values-aligned, intentionally curated community of creative collaborators and community supporters.
Here’s how the process works:
Express Your Interest
Fill out the Contributor Collective interest form.
Tell us about your creative background, lived experience, and why you want to be part of this work. Whether you’re a storyteller, artist, facilitator, or supporter—we want to hear what drives you.
Thoughtful Review & Matching
We review each submission with care.
Our team considers mission alignment, community ties, storytelling approach, and upcoming project needs. Not everyone will be accepted into the active pool right away—but we’re building with the long term in mind.
Join as a Creator or Supporter
Contributors are invited into two tracks.
-
Creative Contributors work on paid projects with the LFVC team—features, exhibits, events, workshops.
-
Community Supporters act as informal advisors, amplifiers, and future collaborators.
From Our Founder
Storytelling is collaborative—and it starts with community.
The Contributor Collective is more than a list of creatives. It’s a values-aligned community we’re building with care—a network of storytellers, artists, and facilitators who help people see themselves in stories.
Not everyone will be invited in right away, and that’s intentional. We’re building something lasting, inclusive, and rooted in real relationships. Some will join us as paid contributors, others as trusted supporters—but all will help shape a more connected and reflective storytelling ecosystem.
If that speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you.
