COMMUNITY

OUR PARTNERS

An important element of our success is the relationships we form with our community partners: school districts, charter networks, individual schools, and community-based organizations that bring our personal storytelling expertise and team of relatable role models to their students, families, and educators.

From 2014-2025, PLUS ME Project maintained a proud partnership with GEAR UP 4 LA, allowing us to help thousands of students, educators, and parents share their resilient stories. We had the honor of guiding participants through multiple programs and watching cohorts of students matriculate from middle school into college.

“PLUS ME Project has been a perfect match for our grant. Their services have done so much more than just help prepare our students for writing their personal narratives for college applications. They have instilled a confidence in our students that has helped them realize the power and strength in their story, and to take pride in who they are, where they’ve been, and where they’re going.”
- Lois Bramwell, GEAR UP 4 LA Project Director (Retired)
