GLOBAL VOICES Initiative, December 2009
The GLOBAL VOICES initiative was created to support organizations and projects that use digital storytelling as a vehicle to improve quality of life.
Final Draft, Inc. is proud to support the Young Story Tellers Foundation (YSF). The foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing literacy, self-expression, and self-esteem through the art of storytelling. YSF currently serves over 2,500 students in Los Angeles elementary schools where the majority of the student population is considered to be at-risk. Through an eight-week session of one-on-one mentoring, the foundation provides a means of expression for under-served children. At the end of each eight-week session, professional actors volunteer to help students and mentors in putting on The Big Show, a staged reading of each script for an audience of family, teachers and friends.
