Interested in Volunteering?We are now officially recruiting student volunteers interested in letter writing with a matched senior pen-pal. Letter writing is a highly reward experience for both you and your pen-pal, as you will be able to share stories and learn from the senior's life experience. We highly encourage you to join as a means of building meaningful relationships and being a form of companionship for senior citizens.
Volunteers will be assigned a pen-pal from one of our partnered Senior Homes based on similar interests. We also supply stationary, like brush pens, wax seals, and much more to make the experience enjoyable and fun! The time commitment is flexible and the letters can be completed on your own time. For more information about active membership requirements and joining as a volunteer, details are listed below. |
What You
Can Expect
As a student volunteer, you will be able to connect with your pen-pal as well as with fellow student volunteers who share similar interests and passions. Ultimately, you will have the opportunity grow meaningful connections both within and beyond your UCLA community while giving back.
