The Memory Journal Project

The Memory Journal Project—a program designed to reduce social isolation and preserve life stories through meaningful weekly conversations.
Each week, a trained volunteer calls a participant for a 5-10 minute conversation, asking a memory-prompting question. The call is recorded, and the response is securely logged in their online journal at MyWebJournal.com.
Over time, these stories are compiled into a beautifully bound book, creating a lasting keepsake for participants and their loved ones.
Who Might Benefit?
This program is designed for anyone who has a story to share and would enjoy weekly conversations that encourage reflection and connection. Those who may benefit include:
✅ Seniors & Veterans – Individuals looking to share their experiences and wisdom while enjoying meaningful social interactions.
✅ Individuals Facing Isolation – Whether due to limited mobility, distance from loved ones, or life circumstances, this program offers a valuable source of connection.
✅ Care Community Residents – Those in assisted living, retirement homes, or home care environments who would appreciate weekly engagement.
If you know someone who would love to share their memories, nominate them today!
