As National Volunteer Month comes to an end, we felt this quote from one of Caching Memories volunteers perfectly embodies an important core mission for us all - changing lives.     Meet ✨Mollie✨ from the University of Cincinnati! Here is what she had to say about volunteering with the Caching Memories program:    ✨How does volunteering inspire you?  "Volunteering inspires me because I know that I have the power to change lives. Knowing that I can make a positive impact really keeps me going. I have been given so much and I want to give back!"    ✨Why do you think keeping older adults connected is important?  "I think it's important to keep older adults connected because consistent social connection can improve their overall quality of life. Some may not have many friends or family to talk to, especially during the day, so it's nice to be that person for them."    ✨What is your favorite part about volunteering with Caching Memories?  "My favorite part about volunteering with Catching Memories is creating a bond with the Memory Holder. This past semester, during our last call my Memory Holder told me they loved me. This had such an emotional impact on me and I am so glad I had the opportunity to get to know them on a different level!"    Thank you to Mollie and the countless volunteers who put their passion to work by volunteering with Caching Memories! We could not do this important work without YOU and our gratitude extends past National Volunteer Month and throughout the whole year.   #NationalVolunteerMonth #Volunteer #Community #StudentVolunteers #OlderAdults #ThankYou Learn more about the impact of Caching Memories here: https://lnkd.in/gMUykqcq

Harvard Business Publishing states that, “Telling stories is one of the most powerful means that leaders have to influence, teach, and inspire. What makes storytelling so effective for learning? For starters, storytelling forges connections among people, and between people and ideas. Stories convey the culture, history, and values that unite people.” And we couldn't agree more. Share your stories, listen to the stories of others, and harness the power of storytelling to create positive change. #NationalTellAStoryDay #TellAStory #Storytelling #ShareYourStory #Inspire #Connection

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible Story Writing Intern, Ara! 🌟 During her time with achi, Ara has written several Memory Cache Books for older adults who have participated in the Caching Memories program. Each book contains the personal life stories and memories shared as a keepsake for the older adults. Once received, they share their book with family, friends, and caregivers, providing an avenue to reminiscence and connect with others even after the program ends. Ara's care and attention to detail brings these books to life, and creates a treasured emblem for families that spans generations. When asked about her experience, Ara shared, "Interning with achi has given me the opportunity to develop my writing skills and put them to use through storytelling, which is what I love to do! Getting to learn about people's lives and then develop their memories into a storybook that their families will cherish forever has been extremely rewarding. I have enjoyed working with the amazing, friendly staff at achi and admire the service that they provide people. I would love to continue using my writing for storytelling and I feel motivated to go forward after graduation with the encouragement and direction I have received while interning with achi." Ara's contributions have made a significant impact, and we're grateful for her dedication, creativity, and passion for storytelling. We wish her all the best as she continues to pursue her writing journey! #ThankYou #Storytelling #TeamAppreciation
