(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) — The Simi Valley Senior Center is offering local seniors a unique opportunity to preserve their personal histories through a new, innovative program: The Legacy Story Writing Class.
This free six-week course is designed to help older adults reflect on their life experiences and transform cherished memories into written stories. With the assistance of a custom-trained AI writing assistant, participants can effortlessly recall details they may have long forgotten, including specific dates and events that shaped their lives.
“Everyone has a story worth telling,” says Daniel Jordan, who will be leading the class. “Our goal is to help seniors preserve their legacy, whether it’s for their family, their community, or simply for themselves.”
The AI tool serves as a gentle guide, prompting memories and organizing thoughts, making the writing process accessible and enjoyable. Participants don’t need any prior writing experience—just a willingness to share and reflect.
For many, the class becomes more than just storytelling; it’s a powerful way to connect with others, revisit meaningful chapters of their lives, and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
The Legacy Story Writing Class meets weekly at the Simi Valley Senior Center. Spots are limited, and early registration is encouraged. If classes fill up, there will be a waitlist for the next class.
