About THE PLUS ME PROJECT

THE PLUS ME PROJECT is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) that partners with schools and community organizations to teach personal storytelling as a tool for student confidence, college and career readiness, and wellbeing. Founded in 2013, the organization delivers youth workshops, educator and parent trainings, and guest-speaker programs that help students make meaning of their life experiences and translate them into academic and professional assets. The organization reports sustained program growth over the last several years, serving hundreds of partners and reaching a six-figure annual budget that supports program delivery, curriculum development, and partnerships across the Los Angeles region. Leadership and materials emphasize culturally responsive storytelling, peer-to-peer connection, and measurable student outcomes.
