The Courage Museum is powered by a dedicated team of educators, designers, advocates, and partners who believe in the transformative power of courage and connection. Together with our board and collaborators at Actual Films, we bring this vision to life through storytelling, education, and community engagement.

Meet the people shaping the nation’s first museum dedicated to reimagining how we prevent violence and build belonging.

The staff of the Courage Museum brings together leaders, educators, advocates, and visionaries committed to building a world without violence. To learn more about Courage Museum staff, please visit: futureswithoutviolence.org/our-staff.
