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. Through our programs, arts become an essential tool for creative, collaborative, communicative, critical learning. We create safe, healing spaces for Seattle students who are the furthest from educational justice. Each year, we work with 500+ students in grades K-12. We prioritize working with BIPOC students, students with disabilities, and those experiencing housing instability. Our impact extends beyond the classroom through our work with educators, parents, and families.
