The Center for Community Health and Health Equity is seeking employees to volunteer as pen pals to second and third grade students in nearby elementary schools. Volunteers will receive one letter a month from their student pen pal and write one letter a month back. All correspondence goes through CCHHE staff so no personal information is exchanged. Pen Pals will have the opportunity to meet in person twice a year at meet up events. This is a great and fun way to volunteer and help a child with their education for those with little time. Contact Pamela Audeh at ext. 2-5741 or paudeh@partners.orgfor more information.
