Submission declined on 19 December 2023 by Jamiebuba (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Story Capsules[edit]

Story Capsules is a voluntary, nationwide initiative by American high school students to record the personal histories of older adults. They conduct and edit video interviews of residents living in retirement communities across the country. Videos are then shared with friends and family. If approved, they also share words of wisdom from the interviews with the Story Capsules community. Story Capsules is entirely run by high school students, and there is no charge for any of Story Capsules’ services.^[1]

Founding[edit]

It all started in 2021, when Gabriel Horwitz (founder) was in the 8th grade. He was asked to edit video interviews - interviews about the lives of residents at a retirement home. After editing multiple interviews all featuring residents from Cedar Sinai Park, an assisted living home located in Portland, Oregon, Gabriel had an idea to make this project bigger and better.

Gabriel decided to start making interviews on his own. Being Jewish, he felt it was important to interview victims of the Holocaust, and so he interviewed two residents of Cedar Sinai Park who survived the Holocaust. Then, his passion grew and he wanted to do more. In 2022, Gabriel began interviewing residents at the Northwest Place assisted living home. He didn't just want to share the interviews with the interviewee's family, he wanted to share the advice and wisdom learned from those interviews with the world.

So in 2023, when he was a freshman at Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School, Gabriel founded the Story Capsules.

Story Capsules Today[edit]

Story Capsules is now operating out of Oregon, North Dakota, and Tennessee; Story Capsules has partnered with Key Clubs in different cities to do so. Story Capsules has a lot of information about their operations and how to get in contact on their website, storycapsules.org
