Hey, guys! 

Lately we’ve been getting an increase in the number of people who want a Penpal Mentor. We need your help! It’s a volunteer opportunity to help others and it provides a creative outlet for you to release daily frustrations or tribulations. If you want to help, we would love to have you! Just message us your interest.

The rules are simple: You write the first letter to your penpal, including a brief background about yourself. After you receive a letter from them, respond in a timely manner (within 2 weeks). You cannot pass judgment in your letters, nor can you use harsh language. You are writing each other to get to know each other better and to feel less unique in despair, so do not write to them as if you are their therapist. 

Thanks!

Recently, we’ve been receiving a lot of questions about how to become a penpal mentor or if we’re accepting new mentors. Our answer is below.

“I want to become a mentor. Will you consider adding more mentors or guest mentors?”

The penpal program is pretty small right now; we have 4 mentors who each have just 2 penpals. However, we are in the process of expanding (or at least trying to through social media advertising). It would be great to have more mentors once we get more penpals and we will contact you when this becomes the case. In the meantime, if you know of people who might be in need of a mentor and want to be added to the list, you can contact us with their permission and that would aid the expansion process. We’d love to get more people involved.
