Celebrating two decades since our founding in October of 2003, StoryCorps has documented the stories of more than 640,000 people nationwide; giving voice to the tapestry of the American experience. We’ve traveled tens of thousands of miles through our Mobile Tour, broadcast more than a thousand stories on NPR, created and shared hundreds of short animations, published five best selling books, and fostered connections across the country. Most importantly, we’ve remained committed to our mission: to help us believe in each other by illuminating the humanity and possibility in us all—one story at a time.
