VPal Connects

V-Pal Connects is a youth-led organization that aims to provide teenagers with the opportunity to build strong friendships through E-letters in which they freely express themselves, and share their skills and insight.

Our goal is to help teenagers across North America earn volunteer hours easily and efficiently!

Our program:

• Provides people the opportunity to have a V-buddy (otherwise known as a pen pal!)

• Allows high school students to earn volunteer hours

• Strengthens literacy skills

• Promotes positive self-esteem

Benefits:

• The program helps students practice the art of writing, increase literacy skills and build positive relationships
• The letters help develop a deeper CULTURAL AWARENESS, enhanced COMMUNICATION SKILLS, and gain COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES

Earning hours:

• Volunteers will earn hours according to the word count per e-letter
  • A V-buddy can only sent up to 3 letters per week

Less than 100 words → 0.5 hours

More than 100 words → 1 hour

(NOTE: Minimum of words → 50, this is to ensure we are not falsely giving volunteer hours)
