Pass It On! The Youth Storytelling Mentorship Initiative

Cal Poly Pomona student volunteers are learning to perform as storytellers, mentoring teens and training them in turn to perform for and mentor children. The program will nurture creativity, oral communication and language arts skills, a love of literature, and provide 1-1 mentoring. Performances and workshops will culminate in an end of year celebration for the whole family.
