Americans All is a 34-year-old community outreach program run by the nonprofit People of America Foundation that specifically benefits small businesses and schools. We advocate multimedia Web-based storytelling to incorporate legacy preservation into a comprehensive in social studies education. Legacy stories acknowledge that heritage and culture are rich aspects of personal and group identity. The experiences, accomplishments and contributions reflected in these stories lend future generations knowledge, insight and inspiration. Social studies education helps prepare students to succeed in our nation’s participatory democracy and in our increasingly diverse economy and workforce.

Schools and students participate in Americans All for free, and schools get ongoing revenue from membership and subscription fees (see graphic). In addition:

• Our supplemental resources in social studies and language arts, which are not intended to be used independently, can enrich instructional practices, enhance classroom lesson plans and support different learning styles.
• Our storytelling tool can educate students about the contributions of different ethnic and cultural groups and the value they bring to our nation.•Storytelling brings subject matter alive for students.
• Students improve their research, writing and communication skills.
• Stories impart the knowledge and experiences of past generations and help bring communities together.

Create a legacy story on an individual or a group important to you and your family and share it forever on our Web-based Heritage Honor Roll—in text and through photographs, home movies, and other video and audio mediums. Your story can be updated at any time, retold in multiple languages and shortened printed in an 8½" x 11" template to share with family, friends and associates. To ensure privacy, part of your legacy story can be password protected.

• Take advantage of our program's event, anniversary and memorial tool.
• Identify Legacy Partners and ask them to host your story on their Americans All home pages for added exposure.
• Access some of our education resources—ethnic and cultural texts and songs and period-specific posters and photographs—all highlighting the activities of groups who help our nation grow.
• Help schools of your choice get quality social studies resources for free.
• Gift an Americans All membership to others.
• As an additional benefit, students helping those less tech-savvy create their legacy story receive a free legacy story for themselves.
