Record a Life Story
StoryCorps invites you to interview someone in your life - a grandparent, a friend, a neighbor - and preserve their story, with recordings archived at the Library of Congress. A free app walks you through great questions and records the conversation. It is a moving way to honor the people around you and keep their voices for the future.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
