The core of every Civic Mirror story is our three-part method: Character, Challenge, Change. To use this framework, first identify your Character—the individual whose story you want to tell. Next, pinpoint the specific Challenge they faced, whether it was a social barrier or a resource issue. Finally, document the Change they created as a result of their actions. This process helps you craft a compelling narrative that is both personal and impactful, demonstrating how one person’s initiative can transform their community.
