History
Young storytellers began as a mentoring program at school in 1997 - by three screenwriters Mikkel Bondesen, Brad Falchuk, and Andrew Barrett after learning about a reduction in funding for a creative arts program at a Los Angeles public school. The first school to be adopted into the program was elementary school in Culver City. This program was entered as 501 (c) (3) in 2003.
