Bridging divides
and connecting
America's classrooms,
one letter at a time.
​


Who we are
​
American Pals is an intra-national pen pal project with a simple mission: to help young Americans
get to know their own country and fellow citizens better.
We pair middle and high school classrooms from different geographic and cultural environments across the United States for offline letter exchanges.
​
We aim to improve the conditions for healthy civic discourse by enabling direct and personal
communication between students with different
backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives.
