what can I include in my letter?
Volunteers can include all kinds of fun and heartwarming things in their letters! Cherished memories of pets, funny stories, and even a good riddle or two are perfect. Feel free to talk about your hobbies, share memories from past vacations, or add a personal touch with drawings or other creative expressions. Just keep it positive and uplifting!
What should I avoid in my letter?
When writing letters as a volunteer, please avoid certain topics. Skip any political comments, talk of religion, or even mentioning the date on your letter. Keep out any personal health issues, and avoid any references to COVID-19. Be mindful with your words to steer clear of language that could come across as condescending or presumptuous, and avoid assumptions or stereotypes. It's also best to leave out any personal or sensitive information, and definitely don’t request any personal details from the person receiving your letter.
