At ELGL, we make friends and authentic connections that strengthen our network and encourage joy in public service. This is what the ELGL Public Service Pen Pal program is all about! The ELGL Public Service Pen Pal program sparks meaningful connection by matching you with a local gov pen pal, bringing people together through the simply act of writing.
Sign up by Friday April 25, 2025. Once you sign up, ELGL will provide the name, mailing address, and suggested writing prompts at the end of April so you can connect with your pen pal during Public Service Recognition Week.
1. Get Matched: Complete a short questionnaire and we'll match you with a pen pal based on shared interests.
2. Write Your Pen Pal: Received you match's contact details and suggested topics to spark engaging connections.
3. Mail Your Letter: Simply drop you letter in the mail to be delivered during Public Service Recognition Week and begin connecting, sharing insights, encouraging one another, and building relationships
