This post on the website of LinkAGES, a Denver based foundation that supports intergenerational initiatives, provides an excellent overview of “Unboxed,” a digital intergenerational storytelling program for LGBTQ+ participants. Developed by the Denver Public Library in collaboration with the local branch of StoryCenter, the program brought together older LGBTQ+ adults with teens who also identified as LGBTQ+. Through learning about storytelling techniques from facilitators, who also identified as LGBTQ+, participants created and told their own life stories. The post includes testimony from one of the older participants that emphasizes the value of the program in building a cross-age LGBTQ+ community in Denver.
