Special Opportunities

Storytelling in Education- Workshops and Assemblies with Storytellers

Several Workshops are held during the Festival. Join our featured storytellers as they present the "How To's" and the "Why's" of storytelling

The Festival, along with the Smoky Hill Educational Service Center, sponsors storytelling in schools with professional storytellers the week before the Kansas Storytelling Festival. Sessions in schools across north central and western Kansas will have opportunities to improve students' and teachers' understanding of storytelling.

More information will become available as a schedule falls into place.

Volunteer at the Festival

Outstanding volunteers are the heart of the Kansas Storytelling Festival. Volunteers provide hospitality, organizational skills, professional expertise and skilled labor annually to make the Festival weekend a welcoming celebration of stories. Every volunteer, from the set-up crews to the clubs who provide delicious desserts at the concerts, is an asset and deeply appreciated.

If you want to volunteer at the Festival, contact the festival coordinators at 785-454-1208 or kansasstorytelling@gmail.com. Make sure to add us on Facebook
