Wildfire Relief:
Uplifting the Experiences of Youth
In response to the 2025 wildfires, PLUS ME Project is offering free storytelling workshops for high school students across Los Angeles.
Students will reflect on their experiences, write their personal narratives in community, and have the opportunity to become published authors in a physical book launching at a public celebration in August 2026.
