Story Factory | 2,286 followers on LinkedIn. Building literacy, creativity and confidence in young people from under-resourced communities. Stories change lives. | At Story Factory, our mission is to enrich the lives of young people from under-resourced communities through creative writing and storytelling. Reading is access, but writing is agency - without strong writing skills, young people cannot actively engage in their education. Each week, our expert Storytellers and trained volunteer tutors work with close to one thousand young people aged 7 to 17 in our creative writing programs, increasing their motivation to learn, improving their writing skills and expanding their future prospects.
