Once Upon a Team

Foster love, one story at a time

Ready for a heart-centered team building experience that blends creativity, collaboration, and community impact? In Once Upon A Team, participants become storytellers while making a meaningful difference for local foster children, reinforcing connection among teammates and with the children whose lives they’ll brighten.

Teams customize vibrant duffel bags, pillowcases, and night lights, transforming practical items into personalized expressions of care. These thoughtful gifts are paired with cozy twin bedding sets to create complete care bags donated directly to local foster children. The duffel bags become symbols of dignity and belonging for youth who often move between homes with little more than plastic bags to hold their belongings.

The heart of the experience lies in collaborative storytelling. Using guided prompts and intuitive AI tools, teams write and illustrate an original children’s book, developing characters, themes, and imagery that reflect hope, adventure, and teamwork. The storytelling team building process encourages communication, problem-solving, and plenty of laughter as teams watch their story unfold.

Each book is printed onsite and added to the foster care bags, ensuring every child receives not only essential comfort items but also a one-of-a-kind story created just for them. These books often become cherished keepsakes, offering connection and imagination during uncertain transitions.

Once Upon A Team delivers a powerful experience teams will remember long after the event ends. Participants leave energized, connected, and proud, knowing their collaboration created comfort, imagination, and hope for a child in need.
