100 Story Building is the home of storymaking and creative discovery for Victorian children and young people.

We use innovative approaches to creative writing to ignite young imaginations and support children and young people as the heroes of their stories.

We work to provide opportunities for children and young people in our community to build the literacy skills, confidence and sense of belonging that are fundamental to future success.

We focus our impact on 5-18 year olds with a lived experience of socio-educational disadvantage, or who experience other barriers to education.

Since 2009, we’ve collaborated with more than 50, 000 children and young people both at our Footscray headquarters, across our Story Hubs, and in classrooms, libraries and community centres across the state. Guided by our expert facilitators, young writers have set off on mind-bending, time-twisting adventures. Their expeditions into the imagination have inspired comics, poems, rap songs, choose-your-own-adventure stories, podcasts, audio dramas and much more... with a consequent, demonstrated improvement in literacy skills, academic engagement, student agency, and school and community connectedness.
