LeadingAge is excited to partner on a new project with StoryCorps, the nonprofit dedicated to building connections between people through storytelling. Together, we are helping older adults across the country stay connected with family and friends in these unprecedented and challenging times.
The collaboration brings StoryCorps Connect, a new free digital platform developed to address the pressing need for connection during the coronavirus pandemic, to older adults, their families, and caregivers across America, with the goal of conducting and recording meaningful remote interviews between loved ones.
StoryCorps Connect achieves 2 goals:
1. A purpose to connect with loved ones during this challenging time of isolation.
2. A way to give back. Your interview—and story—can be archived in the Library of Congress for future generations.
StoryCorps makes the interview process easy. Use these materials to plan your interview today!
