About Us

 

The purpose of the Guild of Idaho Storytellers (G.I.S.T.) is to promote the art of oral storytelling, a tradition of increasing interest in an age of electronic entertainment. Storytelling combines the power of oral communication with the magic of imagination to inspire young and old. Our stories preserve history and culture, entertain audiences, and teach in the most basic and memorable fashion.

G.I.S.T. is a non profit organization established in 1992 by Joy Steiner and Jeanette Ross. Located in Boise, Idaho, the Guild is affiliated with the Log Cabin Literacy Center, a 501C3 nonprofit organization. We develop and tell our own original stories as well as folklore and folktales in schools and libraries, at community events, and civic organizations.
