Project Overview | Collected Stories

Project Overview

Another project were working on is "collected stories". Our fabulous intern (and graduate student), Maricela, is interviewing our clients, recording their personal recollections of their past.

30 years ago they were pioneers, getting regular jobs, moving into their own apartments, we want to honor their journeys and preserve the stories. We need people and families that want to share their history as well as volunteers that may want to help our graduate student.

We will be adding stories in text format and audio of our clients telling their own stories. Please contact Roya for more information:
