Storyteller Project curriculum is available in Grades 4-8 and high school.

Engage socially in small groups throughout the year to put their empathy and friendship skills in practice and build relationships with peers.
Work together to create short documentaries highlighting each group member, sharing the story of the friendships they created, and teaching about what they learned along the way.

“There was a noticeable difference in [students’] behavior in the classroom. I believe that the students are learning to listen to others’ "stories" of who they are, what they think; and in doing so, students are feeling empowered to be more transparent because they trust they will be accepted for who they are.”
