Our Partnerships and Community Initiatives
Stories are meant to be shared, and our impact grows only when we invite others into this circle. From student volunteers to corporate partners, see how we are building a broader community of change.

About Our Growing Family: Partnerships & Initiatives
Our partnerships are never just about funding; they are about hands-on involvement. Whether it is NMIMS interns mapping our library database or Amazon volunteers training in our S.T.O.R.Y. method, every collaborator steps directly into our Imagination Havens to see the healing power of stories firsthand.
When we talk about our growing family, we mean the people and organizations who bring their time, energy, and resources into our spaces. Collaboration is the engine behind our work. Our model is built on active participation—we do not look for passive donors; we look for partners ready to engage.
How We Collaborate
- Student Fellowships & Internships: Interns from institutions like NMIMS and RJ College do not just sit in back offices. They help catalog our libraries, manage inventory, and often join us during field sessions to understand how literacy impacts emotional resilience in children.
- Corporate CSR Partnerships: Working with organizations like Amazon and Big FM allows us to scale our reach. We have conducted joint storytelling workshops and even brought the magic of books to public spaces, such as our 'Santa for a Cause' campaign on the Mumbai Metro.
- The 'My Bookstore' Podcast: This initiative connects us with the broader literary world, exploring bookstores in different cities to celebrate the craft of reading and the physical spaces that house it.
- NGO & Foundation Collaborations: Through programs like 'Giving Tree,' we donate book crates to other partner NGOs, expanding our impact beyond our own centers. We believe in strengthening the ecosystem of support for children, not just working in silos.
Whether you are a student looking for a meaningful internship, or a corporate team seeking a hands-on CSR project, there is a place for you in our story. We are always looking for partners to join our mission of using storytelling for change.
