Letters Across Generations
This Pen Pal Program connects youth with senior citizens in a one-of-a-kind experience that connects generations through writing letters. By exchanging stories, life experiences, and insights, young people and seniors form meaningful bonds full of sympathy and understanding. This program not only enriches the lives of our both sides of the participants but also helps break down generational barriers, reminding all involved of the value of shared stories and relationships.

Why Letters Matter
Many seniors experience isolation, while many teens lack opportunities for meaningful community connection.
Letter writing offers a slower, more intentional way to build understanding and care across generations.
