"Letters to a Pre-Scientist is looking for enthusiastic STEM role models! Share your story and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders. Connect with a middle school student through a yearlong snail-mail pen pal exchange that aims to demystify STEM careers, humanize STEM professionals, and inspire all students to explore their future in STEM. It’s a remote, flexible volunteer opportunity, about a 10 hour commitment in ~2 hour blocks from August through May (4 letters total). Volunteers who register and complete a short, self-paced online training (in August) by the deadline will be matched with a student at the start of the school year."
I signed up last year, but wasn't chosen. Did it the year before and it was pretty straightforward as outreach opportunities go (they give you plenty of prompts on what to write in each letter), the hardest thing was tracking down envelopes and having to handwrite letters.
