We are looking for residents to share their inspirational stories about life, love and learning. If selected, you will work with veteran journalist and storytelling coach Michelle Rogers, our community outreach and education manager, to develop a true, first-person story that’s illuminating and entertaining, and to record on our podcast.

We are looking for you, friends, neighbors and notables to share health or caregiver journeys, to talk about personal experiences, moments in time and lessons learned while navigating life. These “life stories” will paint a visual picture with words, be about 5 to 10 minutes long and must be primarily about you (the storyteller), and your truths, experiences and emotions.

The idea behind this project is to create community connection and build empathy around our experiences. While listeners may not share your exact experience, they may see themselves reflected in your story, through similarities or same lesson/different life. To express your interest in participating, fill out this form and we will be in touch soon: https://forms.gle/DqKYEqV1PKbVLPgw9
