The pen pal program creates deeper personal connections between our volunteers and members – in a number of accessible ways.

Hand Over Hand relaunched the Pen Pal Program in the fall 0f 2014 to deepen personal connections between volunteers and members outside of our monthly Social Group program.  We believe that this is a great way for our members and volunteers to maintain their friendships, especially if they are unable to attend all of our Social Group events.  Additionally, this is an opportunity for our members to develop their communication skills in a multitude of accessible ways.  Each member can exchange emails, texts, posts on social media, or letters with a volunteer at least once per month.
