Add your story. Shape your future.
PLUS ME Project activates the art of personal storytelling to increase confidence in youth as they pursue college, career, and life goals.
MISSION
Where all communities are filled with courageous voices whose stories are heard, valued, and celebrated.
VISION
Personal storytelling is the heart of our work. Every program uses this universal art to help students reflect, connect, and communicate. Our objectives are to help students develop:
OUR VALUES-DRIVEN APPROACH
The capacity to own their identities
The strength to voice their experiences
The skills to empathize with others
The motivation to achieve their dreams
OUR STORY
PLUS ME Project is a Los Angeles–based nonprofit that uses personal storytelling to help young people recognize the power and value of their experiences. Through our story-based programs for students, educators, and parents/guardians, we guide participants in developing the skills to reflect, communicate, and connect—building stronger senses of identity, empathy, and belonging.
Our work combines a meaning-making process, self-reflection, and narrative development to help students not only tell their stories but also see themselves as capable of shaping their futures.
Now in our 13th year, PLUS ME Project continues to inspire communities across Southern California by proving that when young people understand and share their stories, they build confidence, strengthen connections, and unlock their potential to lead change in their own lives and beyond.
