Our mission is to help seniors of Japanese ancestry combat loneliness, and reduce cognitive decline and memory loss. We do this by pairing seniors with volunteers who preserve their memories in life story books. Let’s talk story!
“Sharing one’s life story stimulates memories and cognition, reducing depression and loneliness. I highly recommend this activity to provide older adults with a sense of fulfillment and comfort as they reflect upon their lives and accomplishments.”

“Let’s Talk Story Club remains a spark of hope for the future. Through Audrey and Taisho’s tireless efforts, the organization has forged a commitment from today’s youth to remember and give back to the older generation.”

“Acknowledging a painful history rooted in legalized discrimination by the U.S. government, Let’s Talk Story Club has become a new way for the younger generation to acknowledge the voices of those who lived during Japanese American incarceration. ”
