Streetside Stories is a nonprofit arts

storytelling to value and cultivate young

stories. We work in 10 San
Francisco public middle schools with over 1000
students in the classroom and
in after-school programs. 60% of the students
Streetside Stories serves are
low-income, 95% are people of color, with many
immigrant youth for whom
English is a second language. The year
culminates in the production an
anthology and a DVD of student stories.
