DEAR FRIENDS,

The anti-bullying, pro-empathy Be A Friend Project is a national not-for-profit 501c3 organization delivering surprise letters of peer support called FRIEND MAIL to victims of severe bullying to help them stay FRIEND STRONG and know they are not alone.

​

Since its inception in 2015, the Project has delivered over 24,000 letters, bringing transformational peer support to victims of bullying and, at the same time, giving as many K through 12 students the opportunity to practice kindness and build empathy by stepping-into-the-shoes of a peer.

​

EVERY LETTER IS A GIFT. Whether a "feel better" card from a 1st grader or a handwritten letter from a high school student, all kids and teens have the power to help a peer heal through empathic words and art. The more letters, the greater the impact on a youth who thinks they don't matter.

​

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THE BE A FRIEND PROJECT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! IT'S EASY!
