Our Mission

The power of story has been the heartbeat of the human experience since the dawn of time.  Yet in a world wherein instant gratification and immediate results rule the day, it is pivotal that we remember no one’s story is built overnight, and Goshen, New York embodies that sentiment.  Established in 1788, Goshen has been a staple of American culture since our country’s founding, but its story–like our nation’s history–is complex.  A blend of small-town USA combined with budding urbanization, this local town is constantly being reinvented… one step at a time. It is with this in mind that TEDxGoshen will be branded “Brick by Brick” as we aim to serve as a platform for members of our community to share their complex stories piece by piece. Not only will our speakers change the way our audience thinks about the world, but they might even be able to change the world itself.
