K-grams!
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!!
