8/9/21 Update: With the return to in-person school, at this time we will not be making any new matches in our Pen Pals Program. We will continue to support those who are already enrolled in the Pen Pals Program, so keep those letters coming! :)
Pen Pals Program Description
Due to COVID-19, CCMP has developed a new form of service delivery, Clarke County Mentor Program Pen Pals, to keep our existing mentors and mentees engaged with one another, as well as to foster new mentor-mentee relationships. As pen pals, the mentor and mentee will exchange letters, helping to build the student’s writing and literacy skills, while also having some fun using age-appropriate writing prompts that will be provided.
Mentees who participate in this program will be matched with a mentor from our organization who has undergone screening and training. Mentors and mentees will be provided with age-appropriate writing prompts and all necessary supplies to write letters to each other, including envelopes, stamps, pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, stickers, and paper.
Mentee addresses will not be shared with Mentors and vice-versa. The Clarke County Mentor Program will act as a central distributor, receiving and forwarding all mail.
