Overview
Through the power of storytelling, Streetside Stories cultivates young people’s voices, develops their literacy and arts skills, and fosters educational equity. In-school and after-school programs reach more than 2,000 K-12 students per year at thirty Bay Area public schools, community centers, and low-income housing sites. Focusing on young people who attend struggling schools in under-resourced neighborhoods such as Fruitvale in Oakland and Bayside in San Francisco, Streetside Stories reaches a diverse population: 99 percent of its students come from communities of color and 75 percent come from low-income families. A first-time grant would enable the organization to expand its programs and strengthen their quality.
