We are looking for several volunteers for this project.
Volunteers will meet one-on-one with older adults eager to share their stories. Curry Senior Center will provide a script that lays out the questions to ask and ways to help facilitate the conversation. The conversation is recorded and then transcribed by Curry team members to prepare the participants' reflections for a book.
Program Description:
Do Ask, Do Tell is a new initiative at Curry Senior Center. This program focuses on the Older Adults in the LGBTQ+ community and the invaluable stories they have to tell. These stories will be recorded, transcribed, and published in a book.

"To provide services to seniors that promote independent living while maintaining their dignity and self-esteem."
Today, at Curry Senior Center we serve 2,600 seniors within a central city area stretching from Potrero Hill to lower Nob Hill and from the San Francisco Bay to Van Ness Avenue. We provide primary care at our medical clinic and through home visits to clients, case management for those who want it, substance abuse counseling, social and educational opportunities, and breakfast and lunch daily for seniors. In late 2003, we opened a new facility for our social programs and permanent housing for 13 formerly homeless seniors. Throughout our history, Dr. Curry's mission statement has been our driving force.
