VV Pen Pals - Volunteer Application Form
Due to COVID-19, many elementary school students have had a hard time connecting and meeting up with friends and classmates, and they may be nervous about the upcoming school year. Viking Volunteers wants to make their transition experience more comfortable and exciting by introducing the first-ever SB Pen Pals program for incoming 5th graders in the South Brunswick School District! Through the Pen Pals program, Viking Volunteers will connect high school volunteers with 5th grade students to foster a sense of community through interscholastic communication. This program will provide the fifth graders with a mentor to guide them through their concerns, as well as a friend in these socially distant times!

We're excited to have you apply to be a Pen Pal and will be in contact with you in the coming weeks with application updates.
