WHAT IS LISTEN?
Every story deserves to be heard.
LISTEN celebrates the recipients of the My Story Matters LISTEN Scholarship. Each year, high school students across Los Angeles County reflect on the characters, settings, and events that shaped them, then put those experiences into writing.
Five recipients are selected. Each receives a $1,000 scholarship and shares their story on stage.
Join us in celebrating their stories and honoring their courage.
