Project Scope

Built to scale Life Story Club’s mission, the platform connects older adults through weekly storytelling clubs held via Zoom or phone. With multilingual support and easy access for all tech levels, it ensures inclusivity and connection. In 2024, “Story Rx” was introduced as a healthcare-backed initiative to combat loneliness. The site also offers story prompts, event updates, and paths for caregivers, volunteers, and seniors to get involved. Ultimately, the goal of the platform is to foster belonging, reduce isolation, and support emotional well-being through meaningful human connections.
