Students are paired with an anonymous partner for a term and exchange letters with their pen pal.

Prompts are provided to spark ideas, but members are free to write about anything they choose.

Throughout the term, pen pals can exchange letters as often as they like, building a unique friendship along the way. At the end of the term, students have the chance to reveal their identity to their partner—often the most exciting part of the experience.

The Pen Pal Club is designed to be informal, fun, and a great way to connect with people you might not normally meet. It’s all about building friendships, improving communication, and enjoying the surprise of getting to know someone new.

Join the Pen Pal Club and discover the joy of connection, one letter at a time.
