Young Storytellers is looking for volunteer mentors to help Los Angeles students - 8/10/25
Young Storytellers is looking for volunteer mentors to help Los Angeles students to craft their own, unique screenplays based on their imagination and lived experiences. No experience writing or mentoring is required! Once these stories are complete, performers come and bring their stories to life at a Big Show, an in-school assembly that celebrates the hard work of our students and showcases their stories to their friends and family in the community.
What is Young Storytellers?
Young Storytellers equips young people to be the driving force of their own narratives. We’re passionate about bringing people together and creating stories to raise the voices of those who don’t often get heard. We believe that when a young person understands the power of their own story—made of their unique background, culture, race, gender, sexuality, ability, immigration status, geographic location, and economic status—it creates a more empathetic and equitable future for everyone. We raise voices, one story at a time.
Mentoring with Young Storytellers!
It only takes an hour a week, during your lunch break, to help a Young Storyteller tell their story. In our programs, public school students are paired with mentors (you!) to work with them as they imagine, develop, and write their own original story. At the end of the program, professional actors audition for the students and perform their scripts at an in-school assembly, called the "Big Show."
What is the commitment?
Your commitment will be an hour a week - during lunch hours - for 9 consecutive weeks. We're now actively placing volunteer mentors in our 30+ Los Angeles schools for this spring! Visit our Volunteer Portal to explore schools and schedules. You can select the sites that fit your needs and we’ll take it from there!
What will you gain as a mentor?
Our volunteers tell us that the time they spend mentoring is the most fun they have all day and is even the highlight of their week! As a mentor, you will empower students and watch them grow. You'll also meet amazing people (other volunteers, like you) and build friendships that last a lifetime!
