About Us

Life Letters currently resides in East Lansing, Michigan, on the campus of Michigan State University. The website and logo was created by MSU’s The Cube and has been in effect as of late 2021. It founded in January 2023, and the website was published not long after. Now it is an organization with several remote volunteers committed to bettering mental health conditions in America. 

 

Our volunteers do a variety of work, including–but not limited to–research, editing, active listening, writing, creating/uploading social media content, and grant writing. Life Letters also works with short-term volunteers in positions for ongoing projects. If you’re interested in joining the Life Letters team, email us at projectlifeletters@gmail.com.
