PLUS ME Project believes everyone has a story that matters. We activate the art of personal storytelling to build confidence in youth as they pursue their college, career, and life goals.
Since our founding in 2013, PLUS ME has impacted over 150,000 middle and high school students from over 350 low-income schools across the LA area. We provide guest speaker presentations, storytelling workshops, writing workshops, and professional development programs for students, educators, and parents-all developed with guidance from experienced educators. We also offer two $1,000 scholarship opportunities (My Story Matters: LISTEN; My Story Matters: IMPACT). There are five awardees for each scholarship, meaning we provide a total of 10, $1,000 awards each year. Both require applicants to submit a 1500 word personal narrative which is read and scored by PLUS ME staff and volunteers.
