SILVER STORIES
Silver stories works to preserve the life stories, art, and wisdom of the elderly whose voices are often overlooked.
Silvers life stories!
we spotlight the beauty in their memories,
the power in their words, and spread around the world the stories they have kept in their hearts.

Who we are
Silver Stories is a youth-led, intergenerational storytelling community dedicated to honoring and preserving the voices, memories, and creativity of senior citizens. We believe that every elder holds a lifetime of wisdom, history, and artistry worth sharing.

What we do
At Silver Stories, we do more than just record life stories, we create an ever-growing, living archive of experiences, emotions, and art.

Our Members
Silver Stories members are students, artists, and volunteers from around the world. They are united by a shared mission: to honor elders’ stories and make them accessible to all. Our members contribute their talents in interviewing, art, translation, performance, and design to ensure these stories live on.
Become a Buddy
Buddies are at the heart of Silver Stories. As a Buddy, you can connect with an elder in many ways, whether through regular conversations, sharing a skill, helping them learn a new craft, or collaborating on an art project.
Our Buddies have taught elders photography, instruments, painting, digital skills, languages, writing, and STEM subjects, all while listening to their life stories and building lasting friendships. If you have time, a skill, or simply an open heart, you can make a difference.
Donate
Your donation can sponsor an elder of your choice, helping cover the cost of workshops, creative supplies, or performances they take part in. You can also directly support an elder by purchasing their artwork, with proceeds going straight to them.
