PROGRAMS
Creative experiences designed to help young people explore their identities, find their voices, and connect with others through writing, storytelling, and meaningful self-expression.


Self & Story Collective Residencies
For Public & Private Schools
Creative writing and storytelling residencies that integrate literacy, SEL, cultural identity, and student voice.
Self & Story Collective Residencies bring an immersive creative education experience directly into the school community. Through thoughtfully designed writing workshops, literature, storytelling, and reflection, students explore who they are, what they feel, where they belong, and how their experiences shape the stories they tell.
Residencies are designed to complement classroom learning while providing students with meaningful opportunities for creative expression, self-discovery, and connection.

Self & Story Collective Enrichment Experiences
For Community, Afterschool & Youth-Serving Programs
Creative enrichment experiences designed to help young people explore identity, emotions, relationships, and community through story.
Self & Story Collective Enrichment Experiences provide flexible, engaging programming for organizations looking to offer meaningful creative experiences beyond the traditional classroom. These programs can be adapted for after-school programs, community centers, libraries, camps, youth organizations, and other settings where young people gather, create, and connect.
Rather than focusing primarily on academic outcomes, enrichment experiences emphasize creativity, self-expression, belonging, confidence, and connection.
