Meet some LGBTQIA+ members of the Young Storytellers community who have made everything we do possible. We hope you enjoy getting to know their stories. Although Pride Month gives us a time to highlight queer voices, we work to raise the voices of the diverse members of our community all year round!

Read about our work with alumni, workshops for volunteers, and participation in The Achievery in partnership with AT&T! You’ll also get to meet Young Storytellers alum Jaclyn Navar, volunteer Shawn Tina Willis, educator Amy Parker, donor Niceole Levy, and Marisa Urrutia Gedney & Beatriz Garcia, co-founders of Your Truth at Work, one of our partner organizations, in this issue’s Storyteller Spotlights.

We’re highlighting Black individuals, organizations, and businesses that have made an impact in our community and beyond! They are powerful storytellers in many different ways, and we hope that you enjoy getting to know their voices a bit more - and support them if you can.

We have so much going on at Young Storytellers this year, and thought we’d keep everyone updated on what we’re up to through a quarterly newsletter! In this issue, in addition to letting you know how to get involved with our programming and events, you’ll meet Young Storytellers alum Eliana Pipes, volunteer Annie To, educator Steven Uhrin and donor and Board Member Koko Archibong in our Storyteller Spotlights.
