Script-toStage is a nine week, standards-based, public Elementary School program where students write their own original short script, then see it performed by professional actors. The Script-to-Stage program runs weekly during unstructured school time. A Volunteer Head-Mentor, trained by Young Storytellers, runs each class. Each student is given an individual mentor to work with them one-on-one and guide and encourage them as they imagine and develop their own short script. At the culmination of sessions, actors volunteer to perform the students’ scripts at an in-school assembly, called the "Big Show." Every student in the program presents a finished script, and all are given the chance to have their voices heard. For kids who normally receive little individualized attention and support bring their words to life as a piece of theater is transformative.

Mission Statement
Young Storytellers sparks creative self-discovery through storytelling. Our programs highlight young people as the center of their own narratives, emphasize that their stories matter, and celebrate their unique voices as the ones telling them. Young Storytellers works towards a future where young people experience, through the stories they write, the impact that their thoughts, feelings, and words can have on the world in which they live. We raise voices, one story at a time.
Description
In elementary school, Young Storytellers uses storytelling to help young people explore their creativity and imagination. In middle school, we use storytelling to explore their goals for the future and what challenges might stand in their way. In high school, we use storytelling to explore the impact their voice can have in their community - and, more broadly, the world.
