We help youth build confidence through personal storytelling.

Story-based programs that turn personal experiences into assets for college, career, and life.

Our Story

200,000+ Students

450+ Partners

12+ Years of Impact

Too many students pause their ambitions—not because they lack talent, but because they doubt their story.

PLUS ME helps young people make meaning of their experiences and see themselves as capable of shaping their future.

  • "Looking back, there were so many things I wouldn't have done if it wasn't for that first domino."

    —Brandon Isem, LISTEN ‘20 Alumnus, on sharing his story

  • "I watched students find a piece of themselves. They talked about themselves differently."

    —Mr. Fernando Lopez, Social Justice Humanitas Academy

  • "This isn't just a college access program... It's the center of knowing yourself."
