Serving low-income communities

First Story pairs award-winning writers with secondary schools serving low-income communities to foster students’ creativity and communication skills. By helping them find their voices, First Story raises aspirations and gives students the skills and confidence to achieve their goals.

Helping young people

Since 2008 First Story has helped many young people to tell their stories, and the majority are now more confident, write and read more, and are more engaged in their school communities. Their work has been published in over 250 First Story anthologies.
