Schools & Universities

Opportunities exist for students to work directly with older adults in their community to capture their life stories. LifeBio provides experiences that can be differentiated for middle school, high school, and university students. LifeBio works directly with teachers to provide cooperative experiences which forge intergenerational friendships, develop communication skills, and teach life lessons. This process increases feelings of purpose and meaning, while reducing feelings of loneliness and depression among both seniors and students.

The LifeBio Memory app is ideal for recording the story without delay and other options can be described as well. 

LifeBio offers intergenerational projects that encourage developmental growth in youth and young adults, including:

• Empowerment – Giving youth a role and purpose to help build community
