Pen Pal Matching

Thank you for your interest in joining the Workspace's summer pen pal program! As part of our snail mail studio this summer, we are matching people to share their writing and crafty creations. While making a card at the Workspace isn't required, we would love to have you drop-in to make something to send to your new pen pal.

By completing this form, you agree to allow the Workspace staff to share your name, address, and interests with another person who has also opted into the pen pal program. You also agree to send at least one letter to your new pen pal.

Pen pal matching through the Workspace is only open to folks ages 18 and up.

Please reach out to Workspace Coordinator, Erin McCollum, at erinmcc@iastate.edu with any questions.
