Every year, the StoryCorps Mobile Tour visits ten cities across the United States to record the stories of everyday people. In each city, the Mobile Tour partners with community organizations to widen the scope of experiences we record.
StoryCorps Mobile Tour community partners are organizations, institutions, or community leaders that serve or work directly with communities who are conventionally underrepresented in mainstream media. As a community partner, we offer your organization a limited number of appointment slots before opening the calendar to the general public so you can book appointments for people in your community!
Partnering with the StoryCorps Mobile Tour comes at no monetary cost to partners. A few weeks after the recording takes place, participants will be asked to create an account to access their own copy of the recording. Additionally, as a partner, your organization can request copies of coordinated appointments in the form of a Community Archive. For more information, please visit our Community Archives page.
We are committed to providing you with resources to preserve and share the stories of your community. Reach out to us if you are interested in specialized tools and workshops to help you develop and sustain your own community-driven storytelling projects beyond the time period that you partner with the Mobile Tour.
*These steps are specific to partners who will book appointments at our Mobile Booth.
