Helping young people find their voices, build empathy, and connect through story
Every young person has a story worth telling. Through creative writing and storytelling workshops, students learn how to turn their experiences, ideas, and imaginations into powerful narratives that build confidence, communication skills, and empathy.
Whether they’re writing fiction or nonfiction, exploring personal narratives, or developing oral storytelling skills, these sessions help students see themselves and others more clearly.
