Candice Dow Banks is a visionary leader, author, and advocate dedicated to transforming how we care for vulnerable youth.

Through years of storytelling, relationship-building, and community engagement, she recognized a critical gap—safe, structured environments where adolescents can stabilize and prepare for adulthood.

The Narrative House was created to fill that gap.

Her mission is simple but powerful:
To ensure that no young person is defined by their circumstances—but empowered to rewrite their future.
