WHAT
A Pen Pal relationship empowers the student to unlock their full personal and academic potential.
Developing academic skills, self-confidence, and self-concept.
WHEN
At home, work, wherever! Mentors are provided a one week timeline to read their students letter and write a corresponding letter, making this a very flexible volunteer opportunity.
WHERE
The Pen Pals program is currently at Sunnyside, Washington, and John Hoeven Elementary. Matches meet in the school and have lunch in a predesignated area one-on-one.
Are you a 4thh or 5th grade elementary teacher who would like to have this program in your classroom?
Get in touch and we will add you to our waitlist for upcoming availability.
