Building confidence and creativity through story

The Story Island Project is a Hobart-based not-for-profit organisation that nurtures the creativity and writing skills of young Tasmanians and celebrates their diverse voices.

With the support of our enthusiastic volunteer tutors, Story Island runs dynamic storytelling workshops where young people aged 7–17 are empowered to create their own stories. Our focus is on those who are often overlooked, who may experience poverty and disadvantage, or are marginalised in other ways.

Our vision is for young people to harness the power of their imaginations so they can grow to be resilient and creative shapers of their own lives.

Support us: Become part of our story

Story Island relies on support from people like you to make all these great things happen.
