Citizens Project partners with StoryCorps

The StoryCorps Mobile Booth will be at Ivywild School from May 21 to June 19. 

StoryCorps' mission is to provide people of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve their stories. Pairs of people participate in a conversation for 40 minutes, which is then archived in the Library of Congress and locally.

Citizens Project seeks people to tell their stories that are important to our mission of diversity, equality, religious freedom, and civic engagement in our community!

You can go directly on the StoryCorps calendar to sign-up.

To learn more, contact Deb.
