We believe that communities thrive when they draw on participants' personal experiences and local cultures. By telling stories - whether in the form of performance, radio, video, or other media - communities build power, envision new democratic possibilities, and change culture and policy. Our work is located at the intersection of arts, technology, and social change. We work with grassroots groups, nonprofits, foundations, media-makers and journalists in the U.S. South and beyond.
Our Members are investing in themselves today for a stronger future tomorrow. They've demonstrated their commitment to effective leadership, management, and collaboration by becoming Members. We invite your organization to participate in the Center, too.

Yokefellow is not focused on worship, preaching, teaching, counseling, or Bible study, but is a ministry of listening, sharing, caring, encouragement and support provided by community volunteers from the “outside” yoked in fellowship with those on the “inside” through the weekly small group meetings.
