Successful Community Partnerships
StoryCorps has worked with community partners nationwide, with our StoryBooths in New York, the MobileBooths, and through its special initiatives. Here are just a few of our success stories:
-
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, clients of a youth homeless shelter interviewed each other at a MobileBooth. A case manager reported that when the 18- to 21-year-olds returned to the shelter, they were excited to play their CDs for each other and compare their stories and experiences.
-
In New Hampshire, a nonprofit land trust organization that works with longtime rural residents to protect their farmland from development recruited elderly farmers to participate in interviews with younger relatives at a MobileBooth.
-
In Medford, Oregon, an activities director at a nursing home serving primarily lower-income residents organized outings for residents to visit the MobileBooth with a family member.
