Story Corps

StoryCorps is a non-profit organization based in New York, United States, dedicated to preserving and sharing the stories of everyday people. Founded in 2003 by Dave Isay, StoryCorps has grown to employ 134 people and generate an annual revenue of $50 million. Through its various platforms, StoryCorps provides a unique opportunity for individuals to record and share their life experiences. The organization offers guided interviews in its permanent StoryBooths located in Chicago and Atlanta, as well as through its mobile StoryCorps MobileBooth, an Airstream trailer that travels across the country. These interviews, typically lasting 40 minutes, are preserved in the Library of Congress, forming the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered. StoryCorps distinguishes itself by emphasizing the voices often overlooked in mainstream media. The organization is particularly committed to amplifying the stories of marginalized communities, ensuring a wide range of perspectives are captured and shared.
