These volunteer listeners include adults from the community (active professionals, retirees), recent high school graduated who have participated in Story Works, and also older students from within the school. Participants workshop stories in small groups and can then opt to share their story with their full class. The stories that emerge from these workshops offer opportunities for learning and connection between peers and community members.<\/p>\r\n<p>Teachers, group leaders, and youth participants also have access to <a href=\"https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/for-teachers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">resources<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/listen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">example stories<\/a> developed by past Story Works participants.
