The Pen Pal Project 2026
Let’s get back to Pen and Paper.
Join the Pen Pal Project to change the meaning of connected. You were meant to find this person across the world. You are never alone, and there is someone who gets you. We are embracing digital nostalgia with real letters, rediscovering the joy of thoughtful connection practicing mindful connection as we take pen to paper and connect without distraction.

Not ready for a Pen Pal, but want to sponsor. All donations will go to sending Pen Pal boxes, with stamps and paper to underprivileged organizations in order to give them the same opportunity to connect and know they are not alone.
Donations will also go to support other Non-Profit Mental Health Organizations, such as St. Jude, The Jones Project, women’s shelters and more.
