LIFE STORY CLUB
Our mission is to promote healthy aging and combat social isolation in older adults through storytelling exchange. Life Story Club convenes small social groups of older adults to share and preserve their life stories, and build meaningful friendships.
Life Story Clubs are offered in-person and remotely. Through senior centers, library branches, retirement communities and care providers, clubs meet weekly with the same group of storytellers coming together consistently over time, creating a “soup for the soul” experience for individuals to connect with greater purpose and intimacy.
Club members have opportunities to create their own audio stories to save as keepsakes and give to loved ones, turning storytelling into a powerful legacy project. Ultimately, members and their families join a community bonded over meaningful and purposeful connections.

This is the only meeting I feel comfortable on when I Zoom. The other meetings I go to, I feel lost in the crowd. When I come here, I feel like people are listening and do care.

It’s a beautiful bridge to another person.

I think it’s just the most wonderful thing to share stories and to know other people’s stories. It enriches my life so very, very much…it’s spiritually rich. That’s what it is.
