What South End Stories does
Mission
South end Stories is a trauma-conscious arts education organization bringing liberation through storytelling and the arts to youth. We support students to experience healing through creativity, history, and community.

Our impact extends beyond the classroom through our work with educators, parents, and families.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
