Same Mission, New Method
In response to COVID-19, Traveling Stories pivoted to an online program model in 2020. Drawing from community input and the strengths of our in-person StoryTents, we built a new program called the Virtual StoryTent.
The Virtual StoryTent matches students in 1st-3rd grade with trained reading mentors for weekly, one-on -one reading sessions via video call. Since we launchd the program in 2020 it has grown in terms of enrollment and impact.
Year 1 (2020): 50 students served
Year 2 (2021): 100 students served
Year 2 (2022): 186 students served and 54% re-enrollment rate
Impact Reports
Traveling Stories is passionate about providing high quality programs that make a measurable difference in children’s lives. We collect program data using various tools including our registration form, weekly development reports, a pre and post reading assessment and periodic surveys. We partner with Moxie Research and United Way of San Diego to evaluate this data and measure impact.
