HAVE NO PROJECTS FOR VOLUNTEERS CURRENTLY. My Story Matters, a 501c3 charity organization, promotes healing, inspires hope, and celebrates courage in everyday heroes by engaging them in a process that helps them reflect, recount, record, and reframe their stories. Our vision is to engage communities in embracing stories of all individuals as heroes of their own personal journey and, in that process, become more united in compassion, understanding, and empathy as we realize every story really does matter!
Volunteers work one on one with individuals to gather information from their lives to create a custom storybook all about the child's life. These volunteers must communicate clearly, write legibly, and build a positive relationship with those they work with. These situations are often filled with difficult and sensitive memories. Volunteers help put families at ease through this process.
“I loved interviewing such resilient and happy students! They show how to go through hard experiences and still have a grateful and happy life. Just being around them has brought more happiness into my life.â€
