We know that everyone has a unique life story that’s worth sharing. My Life, My Stories is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in San Francisco committed to preserving the legacies of seniors in our community. We help record authors’ most important times in their lives for loved ones to enjoy for years to come.
We've converted our memoir making program to a virtual program so anyone (young and old) can participate around the country. Each volunteer will be paired with one senior to meet with on a regular basis to record their stories. No equipment outside of a smartphone is needed: only an open mind and open ears.
Recordings captured at these sessions will be transcribed by MLMS staff to create hardcover memoirs for your senior.
The goal is to form a relationship with your senior and share experiences and unique perspectives with one another. You'll be expected to meet with your senior for at least a total of five sessions ranging between 30-60 minutes each every other week.
Volunteers fluent in Korean are also needed.
