Looking for a way to inspire change in our world?
People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos transforms lives, improves literacy, and builds community through literature.
People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos (P&S/GyC) is dedicated to social justice: opening doors to literature for new audiences. Through oral readings of contemporary and classic short stories by our professionally trained coordinators, followed by guided discussions using our trademarked methodology, People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos provides a critical bridge for participants to find fresh understandings of themselves, of others, and of the world.
We are entirely funded by the generosity of those who believe in the importance of literature for everyone, in all walks of life.
