Project Alzheimer’s

Every 71 seconds another person develops Alzheimer’s disease. Also every 71 seconds someone discovers that they are now the primary caregiver for an Alzheimer’s victim. As the disease progresses the patient becomes less aware of their circumstance while the problems and concerns for the caregiver only mount. Project StoryKeeper – Alzheimer’s is designed to be an intervention program, training the caregivers how to capture the life story of the patient. This training will enable the Caregiver to start immediately preserving the memories, experience and wisdom of the patient before the disease wipes it all away. There is strong anecdotal evidence that this process can also help to retard the advance of the disease through the cognitive exercise the program utilizes in the reminiscing process.

Project Hospice StoryKeeper

Everyone has a story to tell. Project Hospice StoryKeeper is concerned about those who have more stories to tell than time to tell them. We call them, ‘endangered stories’.

The goal of Project Hospice StoryKeeper is to provide training to hospice organizations and their volunteers in Legacy Preservation. Preserving family legacies through performing ‘life review’ interviews helps families to build their private family archives through which they can share and build their heritage. We believe that families well grounded in their heritage are better able to withstand the forces in society that tear at the family structure. The StoryKeeper process has ancillary benefits for the StoryTeller; helping them to regain their sense of purpose and a vital role within the family structure.

Veteran History Project

Project StoryKeeper in collaboration with the Veterans History Project, sponsored by the Library of Congress is training volunteer storykeepers to aid in the effort to collect and archive the oral histories of veterans and their time of service to the country. These collected oral histories will be available to future generations to learn first hand from those who lived the experience. World War II veterans are departing from us at an alarming rate. It is critical that we get as many storykeepers working to save their stories and experience while we can. Of no less importance are those stories of other veterans who served at different times and different theatres of conflict. Enabling these veterans to tell their story, to make a difference in the future of our great nation, to continue to serve with distinction, helps them to overcome issues that continue to haunt them. Honor and respect is something that they readily understand and greatly deserve.

Project StoryKeeper is seeking sponsorship to expand and accelerate our efforts to train volunteers to fill this breech, capture the stories and enhance the lives of those who served. Every day thousands of stories are being lost, Please call to help: 866-653-6982



Project Native American

We are in the process of building a program to record the oral histories of Native Americans. Values, Traditions and even dialects are being lost every year. It is our goal to record the languages, culture and voice of our original American ancestors.

Project Storykeeper is seeking sponsorship to implement this endeavor. Time is our enemy. The Native American community is eager to begin. The first hand knowledge of tribal elders will soon be lost if something is not done to save it. As a partner with project StoryKeeper your organization receives many benefits. Time is of the essence. Please call to help. 866-653-6982

Project Holocaust

A shrinking number of our citizens have experienced one of the greatest tragedies of our time, the Holocaust. Today those who were very young at the time are entering their later years. When they are gone only their photos and children will survive. Project Holocaust will train key facilitators in Jewish associations, groups, synagogues, and communities how to record these stories before they are lost forever.

Many of our Storykeepers will be young adults which is so important to preserving the culture and values of those who came before them. We are seeking corporate sponsorship for this noble project and need your help. A partnership with project Storykeeper has numerous benefits, especially when focused on a specific StoryKeeping cultural project. We can preserve thousands of stories for the benefit of future generations. Please call us now. 866-653-6982



Project African American

There is a disconnect between younger African Americans and their elders today. Yet as they become middle aged they will want to know who their grandparents were and what they were like. They need to understand and hear the words directly from their source, their struggles to survive and succeed through the challenges society presented them. Oral recorded stories provide the voice and personality of the storyteller. In their own words African American elders can tell the stories of their great grandparents. These stories will be lost for ever if they are not recorded soon.

Project African American is a dedicated project requiring sponsorship to capture these life stories. We will train groups of people in targeted areas who can go into the community and preserve these precious memories for future generations.

To accomplish this mission we need help from corporate sponsors. Your partnership with Project StroyKeeper has numerous advantages not the least of which is gaining national PR. We need your help right now. Please call  866-653-6982




Project Wired for Life

The objective of the Wired for Life Program is to recruit and train thousands of volunteers to facilitate recording the life stories of thousands of elderly seniors and establishing their own private family networks and web sites. Once their sites are loaded and ‘wired’ the volunteers will train the elderly seniors how to utilize their network allowing them to re-engage in their family’s on-going conversation. We believe that providing this service will give voice to family members who have been unintentionally excluded. We are in effect Re-Inventing the Extended Family.
