Remembering 9/11: A Life Story Workshop

Vita Story Club is a New York-based nonprofit dedicated to promoting healthy aging, combating ageism, and reducing social isolation of older adults. We do this through the life story workshops we run, where we guide a group of participants through sharing and preserving their life stories. We've worked with various organizations, such as the Brooklyn Public Library, the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, as well as hundreds of individuals to preserve their own life stories and/or the stories of their loved ones.

We invite you to this special workshop dedicated to sharing and preserving memories surrounding the events that took place on September 11, 2001. This is a workshop designed for older adults, but younger caregivers and family/friends are welcome to attend with an older loved one to partake in the experience. We'll help you preserve your stories in a personal audio book that you can hold onto or share with your loved ones.

To get a better idea of what your personal audio book will look like, please take a look at our sample book.

This session will be held on Zoom and will be limited to 15 participants, so register as soon as you can!
