Sports
By engaging in sports, Project STORY youth experience physical well-being, emotional wellness, important social and community interactions, and valuable life lessons. We offer indoor soccer, outdoor soccer, and basketball programming. We ensure that each young person has what they need to participate including participation fees, equipment, clothing, and transportation.
Academic Assistance
Project S.T.O.R.Y. empowers our youth through academic support, personalized tutoring, college preparation, and job readiness classes. For many of our young people, English is not their first language or even spoken at home. We assist our youth in writing practice regularly to help them build their written abilities and confidence!
Creative Arts
Art and music are transformative tools at Project S.T.O.R.Y, and we encourage our young artists to explore a wide range of techniques and express themselves creatively. We believe in the profound impact of art as a therapeutic means of self-expression. Dance is a huge part of Project STORY and we partner with Empower Dance Company to offer competitive tap, jazz, ballet and lyrical dance to our kids. We invite artists and musicians to share their talents and knowledge by teaching a class or workshop with Project STORY. Interested? Get in touch!
Life Skills
We equip our youth with the necessary tools to navigate real-life situations. We understand that tasks like learning to swim, applying for a job, paying taxes, getting car insurance, and navigating the healthcare system can be overwhelming, so we provide them with the knowledge and skills to not only handle these challenges but also empower them to assist others.
Leadership Training
Our youth learn, develop, and practice various communication skills including: reading, writing, public speaking, discussions, deep listening, and debating. We teach our young leaders to adapt, practice, and continuously strive for positive communication and interactions with others.
Civics Academy
Thanks to the help and initiative of Councilor Stacey Brown, we are able to offer essential civics education to our young generation. Promoting civic engagement leads to increased well-being of community members and greater transparency and fairness of our municipality. To get involved please reach out to Ward 5 Councilor Stacey Brown.
Girls Circle
We provide a safe space for our young women and girls to grow and learn. Through positive discussions and support from trusted adults, our girls gain knowledge and skills in various health and female-related topics. Plus, they explore wellness activities like yoga, dance, journal writing, and meditation.
Boys Circle
We provide a safe space for our young men and boys to grow and learn. Through positive discussions and support from trusted adults, our boys gain knowledge and skills in various health and puberty-related topics. Plus, they explore wellness activities like yoga, team-building activities, journal writing, and meditation.
Summer Services
Project STORY's outdoor summer services run Monday through Friday from the last week of June through the last week in August.
