About Movement BE

Every young person deserves to define who they are.

Movement BE was founded by Nate Howard on a simple conviction: if young people do not tell their own story, someone else will tell it for them.

Nate is a social entrepreneur, storyteller, speaker and education innovator. Movement BE grew out of his work with young people and his belief that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for building identity, confidence and direction.

What began as creative programming became a methodology — Story, Relationships, Purpose, Pathway — that can be taught, adapted and implemented by institutions of every size. Today Movement BE partners with schools, universities, sports academies and organizations to bring that approach to more young people.
