*VIP Commnity Justice: *
Pen Pals needed!
Are you interested in an interesting and fun service project that you can
do from the comfort of your dorm or apartment? Then the pen pal program is
for you! Interested students will be paired with an inmate incarcerated
somewhere in Illinois. We ask that pen pals write at least one letter a
month (stamps and envelopes ARE PROVIDED). It is COMPLETELY SAFE. As a pen
pal, you use a pseudonym and a fixed return address. This is a great
opportunity and is truly life changing. For more information, email Kailey
@ vip.community.justice at gmail.com.
