Find A Program

StoryBridge's free and low-cost storytelling and expressive arts programs create welcoming spaces where people can share stories, strengthen confidence, and build meaningful connections across cultures and generations.

We focus on creating inclusive spaces that bring people together, particularly newcomers, seniors, and youth, who often face barriers to participation in the arts and are disproportionately affected by loneliness and isolation.

For Newcomers

Storytelling Cafés are supportive workshops where participants reflect on, develop, and share personal experiences.

For Youth

The StoryScape Program blends storytelling, expressive arts, mindfulness, and communication skills building for youth (ages 10–16)

For Seniors

Life Story Club is a multi-week program helping older adults share memories, build connection, and reduce isolation.

For Everyone

StoryBridge connects communities through pop-up storytelling circles, annual volunteer residencies, and published narrative books.
