Become a Pen Pal with RSVP at Senior Neighbors and make a lasting impact! If you’re 55 or older, you can build a meaningful connection with an elementary student through the art of letter writing-all from the comfort of your own home. Our staff will help you find your pen pal match and provide everything you need, from stationery and stamps to ongoing support and training! Starting in January, you’ll exchange monthly letters with your student, building a unique bond over the school year. It’s an easy, flexible way to make a difference-and it all starts with that first letter!

At the end of the school year, you’ll have the chance to meet your pen pal in person at a special celebration!
