Engage in uncovering your family history and building meaningful relationships with your elders. Through this process, you can preserve their stories, wisdom, and experiences for future generations.

Empower Students as Interviewers

When students take on the role of interviewers, they gain valuable skills in conducting interviews, identifying key themes, and writing concise summaries. Additionally, they learn to appreciate the differences between their own educational experiences and those of the interviewees, fostering a deeper understanding of generational perspectives..

Understand History Through a Family Lens

This process enables interviewers to empathize with the unique challenges and triumphs of their family elders. By listening to their stories, they can better understand the struggles their elders faced in coming to and living in the United States, as seen through the lens of individual family experiences.

Preserve the Voices of Our Ancestors

Create a lasting legacy by recording the voices of ancestors who lived through pivotal moments in history. These recordings will allow future generations to hear firsthand accounts of the events that shaped their family’s journey.
