  • Sign up for Sharing Smiles, a project of Empowering the Ages, and you'll be connected with an isolated person of a different generation, through mail or email. Communication is screened by staff and you may remain anonymous to your writing partner if you choose. You can find pen pals, write joint stories, create poetry, share artwork, inspire with motivational quotes, and creatively share your individual strengths. This is meant to be an on-going connection.

     

    Social distancing does not have to mean social isolation-it’s just changing the way we relate to one another. Now is a more important time than ever to connect older and younger people with one another, to make sure everyone knows that someone cares.

     

    They welcome pen pals of any age, but the registration form needs to be completed by someone 18 or over -> docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUtuOe2dcAuwWFsg3s1pmU2AlimyB8EOSt2-w6RL8Ka8wv4Q/viewform
