We believe education happens outside the classroom, too

“She’s an A-student. He’s a B-student.” At Letterbox,
it’s not just about the letters.

Why we do it

Once, we were all thinking, searching teenagers. Each of us was different: the journey wasn’t the same for anyone. But no matter what, when we had great guidance, we felt supported, capable, and empowered.

When you don’t know where to get that guidance from, the world is a frightening place. Even teenagers who have healthy family dynamics and a supportive school have times when they wish they had a wise, discreet, nonjudgmental mentor to give them advice.
