PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Our professional development trainings help educators, youth professionals, and teams develop storytelling cultures in their classrooms, programs, and organizations that center on connection.
All trainings are led by PLUS ME facilitators and can be adapted to fit your needs.

TEAM RETREATS
Host your next team retreat at the PLUS ME Storytelling Center in Los Angeles, or invite our team to facilitate at your site. We use personal storytelling to help your team build stronger connections and strengthen your organization's culture.
Retreats are designed for:
Staff teams
Executive and leadership teams
Boards of directors
Fellows, corp members, and service-year cohorts
Participants leave able to articulate their own story and connect it to the work they share, whether that means strengthening how your team speaks about the mission, clarifying individual leadership journeys, or helping colleagues understand one another better.
Half-day, full-day, or multi-day options are available.
