The Letter Project’s mission is simple: invite women into a community that lifts each other up and encourages collaboration. The primary goal is to remind women and girls that they are enough, no matter what. The organization achieves this through letter writing: anyone can submit a letter request online for a girl in their life that is going through a tough time. The Letter Project compiles letter requests from its website to bring to the ‘Write Nights’ at UMD, where Terps come together to write letters of support to these girls. Other chapters around the country - as well as independent letter writers - write letters too! Once letters are written, they are mailed off to the national headquarters where they are packaged and mailed to the girls. This way, women and girls around the country are surprised with 15 or more letters of support written just for them.
