Abstract
The College Corps Pen Pals Program is dedicated to creating genuine connections between College Corps Fellows and students at Creekside Elementary School. Through the simple yet powerful act of writing letters, we aim to help young learners boost their literacy skills, gain confidence, and succeed academically. As mentors, College Corps Fellows engage with students through regular letter exchanges, offering encouragement and feedback. The program not only strengthens literacy but also cultivates positive mentor-mentee relationships that inspire personal growth and a lifelong appreciation for learning.
