About Us
Overview
When We Were Your Age is an organization dedicated to connecting the older generation with the next by creating a safe and welcoming space for seniors to share their lives. Through photos, stories, and videos, the platform helps preserve memories for children, grandchildren, family, and friends to cherish for years to come.
Our History
When my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, I realized that the stories he told us, often repeated, but always treasured, would one day be gone. When We Were Your Age was born from this truth: we must act before memories and stories fade. Our mission is simple, preserve stories, encourage generational connections, and create a living archive of wisdom and stories.
Our Mission
Our mission is to preserve the voices and experiences of seniors despite their differences, by collecting and sharing their stories and images. We aim to foster connection between generations and ensure that personal histories are not forgotten. Through this community archive, we encourage understanding across generations and cultures.
