Every year on June 1st, National Pen Pal Day is observed, providing an excellent opportunity for individuals to initiate new pen pal connections or express gratitude for existing ones. While many people initially engage in pen pal correspondence during their school years to enhance their literacy skills, a considerable number continue this practice well into adulthood.

Despite the widespread availability of social media, numerous individuals still maintain regular written communication with their pen pals. This enduring tradition is celebrated not only in North America but also across the globe, highlighting the enduring appeal of cultivating connections through the written word.
