About the Program

Write A Friend is a pen pal program that connects people through the lost art of letter writing. Whether you're looking to make a new connection, swap cultural experiences, or simply bring more meaning to your mailbox (or inbox!), Write A Friend pairs you with a pen pal and helps you get started.

How It Works

1. Sign up — Fill out a short intake form about yourself and your interests.
2. Get matched — We pair you with a pen pal based on shared interests and preferences.
3. Start writing — Send your first letter and let the friendship begin.
4. Keep the conversation going — Write at your own pace, no pressure.

Who It's For

• Anyone who wants a meaningful, low-pressure way to connect with someone new
• People looking to share experiences among cultures and locations
• Those who love the personal touch of a handwritten or typed letter

Why It Matters

In a world of instant messages and endless scrolling, Write A Friend slows things down. A letter takes thought, care, and intention — and so does the friendship that grows from it.
