ABOUT PEOPLE & STORIES/ GENTE Y CUENTOS:

People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos (P&S/GyC) is dedicated to opening doors to literature for new audiences. Through oral readings and rigorous discussions of enduring short stories, we invite participants to find fresh understandings of themselves, of others, and of the world.

Our programs, offered in English and Spanish, use oral readings and structured dialogues of complex short stories to invite participants to connect their own varied life experiences to the universal themes found in great literature. Now in its 50th year, our program methodology effectively removes obstacles to the rewards of reading, especially for adults and young adults who identify as not having the skill, confidence, or motivation to read independently.

Our participants include men and women who are incarcerated or engaged in re-entry, residents in halfway houses and homeless shelters, recent immigrants, and low-income seniors in residential settings. By and large, the individuals we serve are reading at or below a 5th grade level, have not completed high-school, or are economically disadvantaged. A critical bridge, People & Stories / Gente y Cuentos provides hope and skills for moving forward.

People and Stories/Gente y Cuentos is located at 475 Wall Street, Princeton, NJ and is open Monday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. by appointment. Most programs are held at partner sites and other locations.

ACERCA DE PERSONAS E HISTORIAS/ GENTE Y CUENTOS:

People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos (P&S/GyC) se dedica a abrir puertas a la literatura para nuevos públicos. A través de lecturas orales y debates rigurosos sobre cuentos duraderos, invitamos a los participantes a encontrar una nueva comprensión de sí mismos, de los demás y del mundo.

Nuestros programas, ofrecidos en inglés y español, utilizan lecturas orales y diálogos estructurados de cuentos cortos complejos para invitar a los participantes a conectar sus propias y variadas experiencias de vida con los temas universales que se encuentran en la gran literatura. Ahora en su 50.º año, la metodología de nuestro programa elimina efectivamente los obstáculos a las recompensas de la lectura, especialmente para adultos y jóvenes que identifican que no tienen la habilidad, la confianza o la motivación para leer de forma independiente.

Nuestros participantes incluyen hombres y mujeres que están encarcelados o comprometidos en el reingreso, residentes en hogares de transición y refugios para personas sin hogar, inmigrantes recientes y personas mayores de bajos ingresos en entornos residenciales. En general, las personas a las que servimos leen a un nivel de quinto grado o menos, no han completado la escuela secundaria o están en desventaja económica. Un puente crítico, People & Stories / Gente y Cuentos brinda esperanza y habilidades para seguir adelante.

People and Stories/Gente y Cuentos está ubicado en 475 Wall Street, Princeton, Nueva Jersey y está abierto de lunes a jueves de 10:00 a. m. a 4:00 p. m. con cita. La mayoría de los programas se llevan a cabo en sitios asociados y otras ubicaciones.
