Stories that light the dark

Campfire is a protected, voice-first journaling space designed for young people aged 12–18. A private platform where teens can speak their truth, process what they're feeling, and hear the quiet strength of others — all without the pressure of likes, comments, or public identity.

This is not social media.
This is storytelling, gently held.

A Safe Space to Grow

Voice Journaling

A safe, moderated space to speak freely. No judgment. Just you and your voice.

No Metrics

No likes. No followers. No pressure. Pure reflection and self-expression.

Anonymous Discovery

Entries are shared anonymously to a peer feed — so young people know they're not alone.

Emotional AI

Smart prompts respond to tone and language, gently guiding reflection and growth.

Private Notebooks

Prefer to write? Switch to text journaling anytime.

Transition to Sonder

At 18, teens can export their archive and join the full Sonder platform — preserving their early voice as part of their lifelong story.

Voices of a Generation

An opt-in storytelling archive that captures the emotional and lived realities of growing up in this era.

Not a social network —
but a digital museum of youth memory, shaped by truth, vulnerability, and care.

Purpose

  • • Document the emotional reality of adolescence
  • • Create a cultural record of this generation
  • • Empower young people to shape their own narrative
  • • Bridge understanding between generations

How It Works

  • • Teens can opt in to share entries anonymously
  • • Stories are tagged by theme and stored securely
  • • Select entries may be curated into public exhibits
  • • Full opt-out is available at any time

"Some stories aren't meant to go viral. They're meant to be remembered."

Safety First, Always

Human + AI Moderation

Every entry is reviewed for risk. A crisis protocol is in place for urgent situations.

Complete Privacy

Anonymous profiles. No identifying data. End-to-end encryption.

School Partnerships

Custom dashboards for educators and institutional support.

Parental Consent

Clear opt-in systems. Full transparency for families.

In Development

Campfire is in its early stages.

We're designing it slowly and intentionally — in deep collaboration with young people, educators, and mental health experts. We believe it must be safe before scale, and thoughtful before viral.

Partner With Us

We're now seeking aligned partners who believe in what this could become:

  • • Schools & educators focused on student wellbeing
  • • Youth organizations creating safe spaces for expression
  • • Mental health advocates supporting early intervention
  • • Philanthropic partners who believe in cultural preservation, privacy, and care

Together, we can create a storytelling space for the next generation.

Campfire is not a social media platform.

It's a sanctuary — a storytelling hearth for the next generation.
