The history of our nation is deeply tied to immigration. Ancestors of all Americans came here from diverse locations. Many of their unrecorded stories represent history’s missing pages.
- All generations need to pass on the knowledge they inherit from their families. This is extremely important; without it, how will children understand their roots, embrace their identity and learn how to relate to others?
- Most people, especially students, rely too heavily on electronic devices to do just about everything. Consequently, it's getting harder for them to become proficient in written communication, a skill they will need as they move from high school to college or job interviews.
Americans All makes it possible for an individual to invest $24.50 to record, share and archive their legacy story—an incredibly valuable asset. In addition to our storytelling component, members and their families gain access to our current and future social studies resources—a $500+ value. They also get discounts from program partners and a free one-year trial subscription to our Social Legacy Network—worth $1,750 in transferable tuition discounts at participating colleges and universities. Students helping seniors create their legacy story receive a free legacy story for themselves, and schools and libraries participate for free.
