This initiative not only boosts students' empathy and writing skills but also provides teachers with a fresh curriculum addition, warms senior communities, and gives volunteers the experience of designing educational content. Using our resources, volunteers will work with an educator to design the lesson plan, teach it in a class, and collect and mail the students' letters.
