Our Programs

Discover the heart of our programs that aim to spread compassion, connection, and creativity. Our programs include:

A group of young people are gathered in a grassy area surrounded by lush trees, with several tents visible in the background. Some individuals are standing close together with their arms around each other, creating a sense of camaraderie. Others are walking or standing separately, suggesting an outdoor, possibly camping or team-building activity.

Letters Across Generations

This Pen Pal Program connects youth with senior citizens in a one-of-a-kind experience that connects generations through writing letters. By exchanging stories, life experiences, and insights, young people and seniors form meaningful bonds full of sympathy and understanding. This program not only enriches the lives of our both sides of the participants but also helps break down generational barriers, reminding all involved of the value of shared stories and relationships.

Who Can Participate?

High school and college students interested in community service, writing, and intergenerational connection.

Teen Volunteers
Senior Partners

Senior centers, assisted living communities, and organizations serving older adults.

Why Letters Matter

Many seniors experience isolation, while many teens lack opportunities for meaningful community connection.

Letter writing offers a slower, more intentional way to build understanding and care across generations.

Our Commitment

  • Clear program guidelines and expectations

  • Partner-based matching for senior participants

  • Respectful, age-appropriate communication

  • Ongoing oversight by program coordinators
