PenPal Mentors

Penpal Mentors for People Struggling with Bullying, Depression, LGBT issues, Loneliness, etc. Or for people who just want a pal.

A penpal mentor's purpose is to cheer you up through snail mail (or email, if you prefer). You can post or submit to the site if you want a mentor. A mentor will send you a letter (including things like pictures, CDs, small dollar store items, etc.) once a week. If you write back to your mentor, he/she will respond as many times as you would like. You can post to our discussion forum at the bottom of this site to connect with other people who are struggling with similar issues. Submit your name, email address, or home address (whichever you prefer) by clicking the mail icon below or by clicking the "Ask" tab above. Your information will not be shared or made public.

We Need More Mentors!

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!
