About the organisation
100 Story Building is a creative writing centre, social enterprise and registered charity dedicated to amplifying the voices of young people. We work with children and young people who experience barriers to education and creative opportunities, especially those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and those with lived experience of socio-educational disadvantage. Through our innovative programs, including Story Hubs, Early Harvest, and public workshops, we help young people build the literacy skills, confidence, and sense of belonging they need to thrive.
