Celebrate the stories of young authors of all abilities when Story Pirates sail into town!

Every year, Center for Independent Futures is proud to host Story Pirates, a nationally respected group of actors from New York City and Los Angeles who are dedicated to celebrating the words and ideas of young people.

Center for Independent Futures was proud to partner with Evanston/Skokie School District 65 to bring Story Pirates back to Evanston again in February, 2013.

Thanks to our 2013 Story Pirates Ship Captian Sponsors!

If you have a young author that you think may be interested in participating in CIF's Story Pirates event,  or for additional information about getting involved and sponsorship opportunities, please contact Jan Walch or call 847.328.2044.
