A free listening tool to help you reach out to older adults and share their life stories.
For use by listeners of any age, anytime, anywhere, to jot down real-life stories told to you by older adults. This handy form is brought to you by your friends at The Best Day of My Life So Far, in order to make your intergenerational conversations extra fun and meaningful. Inspired by our founder's friendship with her grandmother, Best Day is dedicated to fighting older adult isolation and promoting intergenerational engagement through storytelling. Donate and learn more: www.bestdayofmylifesofar.org

A few tips:
- Use 1 form per story. Repeat often to enrich your relationships.
- Haven't reached out to an older adult before? No worries! Learn basic concepts at http://bit.ly/bestdaytips
- It is important to request the storyteller's permission to share their story. By submitting this form, you are confirming that you have been granted permission, and giving Best Day permission to share the story and your reflections publicly.
- If you are an older adult looking for a space to journal a story before your next intergenerational conversation, please use this self-submission form http://bit.ly/tellusaquickstory
