GET INVOLVED
Do you remember when you experienced a second chance? Perhaps it was when you had a serious health issue, a financial setback, lost a job, or suffered a broken relationship. Think about where your life would be without that second chance.
Now, you have the opportunity to help provide a second chance to a youth in need. You don’t need experience. All you need is a caring heart. You can teach curriculum, be a mentor, provide job training, or just be a helping hand. There are many ways to volunteer, as you can see by the list below.
Thanks for your interest in the One Heart Project! Here are three simple steps to get involved:

Thank you for your commitment to show support and communicate value to our justice involved youth through our One Heart Notes program.
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
First and foremost, please familiarize yourself with our writing guidelines.
Write a simple introductory letter. Share information about yourself and why you are writing to them.
Please put your name and address on the envelope that contains your letter. Personally address the letter from your name, but do not include your address within the letter itself. Then, send your letter to:
One Heart Notes
P.O. Box 92790

Your note will be forwarded to a youth correctional institution and be partnered with an incarcerated youth. You will be contacted by our team regarding a match, and a letter from a youth will be mailed to you directly from One Heart.
Alternatively, you can send a note via email toinfo@oneheart.com. We will print and mail it for you.
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW
Familiarize yourself with our writing guidelines.
Make sure your letter is okay to be read by anyone.
Please do not use any stationery that has personal information on it.
Never send anything with your letter. No money, no stamps, nothing.
