Wildfire Relief:
Uplifting the Experiences of Youth
In response to the Los Angeles wildfires, PLUS ME Project is offering free storytelling workshops for high school students, parents, and educators across the city.
Guided by expert facilitators, students and adults affected by the wildfires will reflect on their experiences and write their personal narratives in community. Participants who choose to share their stories will have the opportunity to be published in a physical book preserving their voices as part of the historical record of this moment in Los Angeles.
