Exciting News!! Youth PenPals

February 03

by Renee 3. February 2010 14:35

I just received word from St. Jude's Ranch in Boulder City, Nevada that they are interested in starting a PenPal Program with our youth. I have been looking for awhile for a safe and secure way to set our youth up as PenPal mentors to at risk or disadvantaged kids if they choose. Believe it or not..that isn't easy! Some of the places I found online wanted to charge $5 per child to set them up with a PenPal! Other places wanted to communicate through email and that's just something I am not comfortable with especially for the younger children!! You never know who may "really" be on the other end! So needless to say I was very happy when I received word from Aubany at www.stjudesranch.org that she has 10-15 children ages 7-15 that would love to participate with our youth!
