Who We Are & Where We Are!

Telling It staff members are committed to ensuring that our youth know that their lives and safety matter. Our virtual programming goals are two-fold:

1. In collaboration with our community stakeholders, local artists and most importantly the youth themselves, our rigorously trained Telling It team supports youth in their communities by co-creating a healing environment in which youth can name their hurts and address barriers to their success. 
   
2. Using the expressive arts, Telling It offers opportunities for youth that
   • practice social emotional skills
   • practice soft skills that are essential for effective social interaction
   • build cognitive skills
     
   • identify obstacles
   • stimulate writing and literacy skills
