How It Works

Simple Steps, Meaningful Connections

Our program makes it easy for schools and care facilities to participate in this life-changing experience.

01

Schools & Facilities Register

Teachers and activity coordinators sign up their classrooms and care facilities. We handle the matching process to create meaningful pen pal pairs.

02

Students Write Letters

With guidance from teachers, students craft heartfelt letters sharing about their lives, asking questions, and building genuine connections with their senior pen pals.

03

Seniors Respond

Seniors in care facilities receive the letters, bringing joy to their day. They write back, sharing wisdom, stories, and creating bonds that transcend generations.

Success Stories

Hear From Our Community

Teachers, seniors, and facility coordinators share how Write2Me has made a difference.

My students look forward to receiving letters more than anything else. The excitement when a new batch arrives is incredible. They've learned so much about empathy and history from their pen pals.

Getting letters from the children has given me something to look forward to every week. It reminds me that I still have wisdom to share and that someone cares about my stories.
