The Storytellers
Why We Exist
We believe in the transformational power of play and that every child should have access to it in their community.
What We Do
We partner with communities to co-create inclusive play and storytelling programs, ensuring they reflect local voices and needs.
Play
We provide free, inclusive soccer sessions led by local coaches. These sessions are designed to be more than just soccer skills, they are spaces where young people can move freely, build relationships, and feel safe.
Community
We engage youth and community members as active collaborators in the design and delivery of our programs. Through leadership roles such as assistant coaches, and youth storytellers, participants contribute directly to the facilitation of sessions.
Storytelling
Our framework pairs play with creative storytelling activities that include short articles, photography, and visual art. As youth participate on the field, they also reflect off the field while exploring who they are, where they come from, and how they see their future.
