Pen Pals - Other Ways to get involved

A Plethora of Opportunities!

If you live in the residence hall, sign up to be a PEN PAL and write to K-5 kids once a month. Turn in applications within the first two weeks of September to your front desk or residence hall library.

Volunteer for our our BookMARK weekly or monthly reading and mentoring program.

Help create packages and gifts for classrooms of needy children. Talk to your Swing Kid about how you can make a special package or include a treat for your pen pals' class.
Visit an elementary classroom by organizing a project or activity. Talk to one of your Hall Heads to find out about upcoming projects, give your ideas, or deliver letters with them!

Within your own hall, participate or organize pizza parties, elementary tours, and letter creation evenings.

Join a planning team for our spring Kids-Fair, or sign up your group to get involved!

Check out our calendar of events to see what is coming up that you can help with!

You DON'T need to be a pen pal to volunteer for any of the other opportunities. So sign-up now to write to a kid or volunteer in other ways. It's fun and rewarding!!
