University of San Francisco / Meals on Wheels recorded stories with seniors and students as a semester-long project.

Just a few of the seniors who recorded stories with USF students during their semester-long memoir writing course. 

USF creative writing professor Ryan Van Meter partnered with both StoryCorps and Meals on Wheels to offer his students an opportunity for service learning, oral history collection, and memoir writing during his semester long course. Students had an opportunity to deliver emergency kits, record homebound senior’s stories, share their own experience in the StoryBooth, write a short autobiographical piece about their senior partner, and edit audio collected from the interviews. Meals on Wheels then utilized the photos and student cuts to launch a new section of their website and host a celebratory community event. 

Check out the website Meals on Wheels created.
