The Education Program works with students, teachers, and professors from high-school through college to promote stronger community bonds within the student body and the administration. The overall mission is to prepare students for the world ahead of them by teaching crucial aspects of language and rhetoric, and to allow students and teachers to experience one another in a more intimate setting.

The Moth covers a great number of years, much territory, many episodes, and studies the manners of a multiplicity of people and many aspects of human nature. An obvious attempt at a serious theme, The Moth flits too much; details weigh it down; it is too long—a failure of style and technique on the whole…most of Cain’s [best] stories, being concerned with a few characters over a short period of time, lend themselves to brevity.”—Novelist David Madden in James M. Cain (1970) [17]In this book, the Moth team reveal the secrets of their time-honed process and use examples from beloved storytellers like Neil Gaiman, Elizabeth Gilbert, Nikesh Shukla, Sarfraz Manzoor and more, to show you how to: You are a multitude of stories. Every joy and heartbreak, every disappointment and dizzying high, has the makings of an unforgettable story. Whether your goal is to deliver the perfect wedding toast, give a moving eulogy, ace a job interview or simply connect more deeply to those around you, The Moth is here to help. A leader in the modern storytelling movement, The Moth inspires thousands of people around the globe to share their stories each year. McGowan, William (January 29, 1999). "Saloon Stories".
