Our Mission

A Letter To You is a student-led project dedicated to fostering connections between children in Houston through the exchange of letters. By encouraging children to write about their experiences and stories to be shared with one another, we seek to create understanding between different backgrounds and nurture empathy, kindness, and human connection.

Why it Matters

Connection has become more important than ever in recent years. It can contribute to living a happy healthy life, impacting both mental and physical health. In children, connection is essential for development as it allows them to build social skills.

How it works

Letters you personalize will be distributed to other children in Houston through partnering organizations. These small gestures of kindness can make a big difference to someone. Through this activity, we invite you to write about yourself and perhaps you’ll find that we share more things in common than you thought!
