ABOUT US
Gift of Words was founded during the COVID-19 pandemic by a high school student in Texas. As she realized how much lifting the spirits of one another mattered during this time, she decided to start Gift of Words. Gift of Words strives to spread happiness and bring communities together. through many opportunities. Starting as a small organization that provided letter-writing opportunities for families and students, Gift of Words then began the Mentoring Program, where students K-9 could receive free tutoring or do fun activities such as crafts and drawing with a high-school mentor. Since starting in July 2020, Gift of Words has sent 700+ letters to hospitals and senior homes, as well as reached 270+ mentors and 300+ students from 18+ countries. These initiatives in Gift of Words brought communities together, including healthcare workers, senior citizens, families, and students. And that is our very goal: to create words and actions to be a gift around the world!
