Support me as I share my wisdom & story with youth! This year, I am proud to serve as one of PLUS ME's 100 Volunteers for Wisdom Week & will be sharing my life story to inspire a classroom of high school students virtually during the week of September 20 - 24, 2021. Sponsor me as I train, practice & prepare to share my story. You'll be supporting me, +ME and a worthwhile mission of inspiring self confidence through storytelling for youth.
Relatable role models are important. They inspire us to believe in ourselves, encourage us to reach for our dreams, & remind us that we are not alone. These individuals often share personal stories with us that we connect with, inspire us, & we can learn from. Unfortunately, too many middle & high school students lack access to them.
PLUS ME Project is a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles that activates the art of personal storytelling to build confidence in youth as they pursue their college, career, and life goals.
In addition to bringing volunteer guest speakers into classroom, they also help students build & share their own personal narratives. Through self-reflection and journaling, PLUS ME helps youth realize they have a story that matters & guide them in building the foundation for their college personal statements or job interviews.
Since 2013, PLUS ME has impacted over 100,000 students & looks forward to bringing their storytelling resources to even more students this school year.
During my training with PLUS ME, I received a My Story Matters Journal (a 100-page personal narrative guide) that helped me build my story. Your donation will help ensure PLUS ME provides these journals to more high school students this year as they help them build their stories for their college personal statements.
