They train and match volunteers with students and provide:
- One-on-one weekly tutoring
- School supplies
- Assistance in entering school
- Scholarships
- Parental support
- A learning center on Skid Row
Young Storytellers empowers students to take charge of their own stories. They are deeply committed to fostering connection and crafting narratives that amplify the voices of those who are often overlooked.
They believe that when young people recognize the strength in their personal stories—shaped by their unique experiences, identities, and backgrounds, including culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, abilities, immigration status, location, and economic circumstances—they help pave the way for a more compassionate and just future for all.
