Story Pirates is a nationally respected education and media organization founded in 2003 to celebrate the words and ideas of young people. By pairing world-class teachers with first-rate actors and comedians, we offer a variety of tools to make learning more engaging and effective. Dually based in New York and Los Angeles, our acclaimed programs and professional development services for teachers are in place at over 250 schools from coast to coast.
We recently received this letter from Jaden, a 5th grader from New York City:
“Your help and encouragement means a lot to me. When you guys come it’s easy to learn because no matter what you guys won’t give up on us. Also, one thing I learned from you is that we should encourage each other because that’s what keeps us going. Also, when we helped you learned things too.”
Thanks in part to your contributions, this message is spreading, and demand for our programs in low-income schools has skyrocketed in recent years. That’s why we need your help now more than ever. Please consider supporting Story Pirate’s growth by making a tax deductible donation today!

At Story Pirates, we still remember the thrill of an approving teacher’s remark, and we recall the electrifying rush of receiving a supportive, handwritten note. Story Love is our way of showing students that we have read their stories and care about what they have to say. Each year, Story Pirates helps tens of thousands of children write a complete, original story, but we are only able to perform a handful of these stories at schools across the country. Through our Story Love program, we provide positive, personalized feedback for each and every story created in our writing workshops.
