This internship provides direct assistance to the operations of the Bloomington Storytelling Project, a volunteer-powered award-winning partnership with community radio WFHB. The mission of this project is to preserve the tradition of oral history and build community by providing a platform for local people to share their true stories. We accomplish that mission by hosting regular live storytelling events, providing opportunities for anyone to record stories in-studio or through field recordings, broadcasting a weekly story showcase, and compiling a publicly-accessible free online story archive.
