Story Squad, an audio storytelling program, empowers youth to channel their experiences through personal audio stories that are shared within their community and throughout the world. This program focuses on developing self-reflection, critical thinking, self-efficacy, and audio production and storytelling skills. With the use of trauma-informed group processes that draw on foundational principles in media literacy, restorative justice, and cognitive behavioral therapy, we promote positive development in young people throughout the greater Chicago area!
