PEN PAL VOLUNTEER

The Super Power Agency is looking for adult volunteers to take part in our Pen Pals project in early 2026!

You will be paired with a young person from a Glasgow secondary school who will write to you on a weekly basis. Over 6 weeks, you will exchange letters and share stories about your interests and experiences - whatever they might be!

Through the power of your words, you will support a young person to grow in confidence, explore their creativity, and discover more about the people who live in their city.


If you’d like to take part, please get in touch with us via email: [email protected]


The Super Power Agency is a Scottish charity on a mission to help young people write their story.


If you are interested, please click the ‘Apply’ button below (available when logged in and registered). The coordinator will then contact you by email or phone call. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided. You could also check your junk/spam folder for your emails, just in case the response is there. If that doesn’t work out, then please feel free to contact Volunteer Glasgow at [email protected]
