StoryCorps Legacy

The mission of StoryCorps Legacy is to provide people with life-threatening conditions and their families the opportunity to record, preserve, and share their stories. Recording interviews is the perfect way to celebrate and share the lives of our loved ones with generations to come. StoryCorps has heard many participants say they strengthened their human connections and felt their lives were validated as a result of their interviews.

Partnering with StoryCorps Legacy

We partner with organizations that serve people with life-threatening conditions and their families. These include hospice care, palliative care, and disease-specific organizations. We assist our partners in incorporating the StoryCorps interview experience into their existing services by training and preparing them to conduct and record interviews using equipment that we provide.
