Our seniors have life experiences and stories in their memory bank that are worth preserving for generations to come. VON will provide storytelling volunteers with a set of questions. They meet with a client once a week for eight to ten weeks asking questions and recording the answers. They will then compile the questions and answers into a binder to present to the client. Resources and training are provided.
