STORYTELLING CENTER
The PLUS ME Storytelling Center activates the art of personal storytelling through public programs and events that encourage social connection, community building, and self-confidence.
What’s Happening At The Storytelling Center
Youth Storytelling Workshops
PLUS ME facilitators guide youth through personal storytelling activities that stem from the curriculum programs we have been conducting in classrooms across the city for the last decade. These activities include self-reflective journaling, anonymous gallery walk reflections, and facilitated conversations. All students receive a copy of the PLUS ME Journal which was developed as an introspective, story-building tool and won UCLA’s 2019 Social Enterprise Venture Competition.
