About Us
Story Space was born of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on education. As schools shuttered to contain the virus, children lost out on months of in-person learning, harming prospects both in and beyond the classroom. Not only was education hit hard, but social-emotional development also suffered as children were deprived of the benefits of peer interaction. Story Space aims to combat both of these phenomena by providing weekly storytime—a proven method to improve literacy and emotional development in children—to K-5th graders. Led by high schoolers, each session is an opportunity to gather while reaping the educational benefits of storytelling.
