Axel Duran had never spoken to an audience before LISTEN 2025. Watch what happened next.
One story made room for another. Help us raise $60,000 by January 1 so more young people, families, and educators can share theirs.
Give nowEvery story makes room for the next one.
In PLUS ME workshops, students discover that their stories have value. Parents and guardians find stories worth passing on. Educators and youth-serving professionals learn to share theirs first, so young people feel safe sharing too.
