IYG Pen Pal Program.
Want to connect with another LGBTQ+ youth? You can sign up for our LGBTQ+ Pen Pal Program and correspond by either postal mail or email. It's a way to connect with other youth in a safe way.
Here's how it works:
-
​Send in your application (download below) and proof of age.
-
You will be notified of your pen pal's first name and their contact information and they will be notified of yours.
-
Then it's up to you to write or email with each other!
​
All youth in the Pen Pal program must be between the ages of 12 and 20. To make sure this safety guideline is followed, all applicants must send a copy of their school ID, driver's license/state ID card, or birth certificate with their application.

*All personal information is kept strictly confidential. Only your first name and last initial will be provided to your pen pal.
