Kit
In order to help others create their own interfaith youth storytelling programs, we have documented our work associated with Children at the Well. Although our project in 2006 included all the elements you will read about, you may wish
to implement only a portion of what we have done…or, you may even use our project as
a starting point, and go further.
Please feel free to adapt for your own uses with attribution, and please send feedback- we’d truly love to
hear from you!
Sincerely,
Gert Johnson grsjohnson@aol.com
