PeaceBike Email Pal program is a free service! You have taken your first step to making a new friend from another part of the world. 

Important:  If you are under 18 years old you must discuss your decision to sign up for an email pal with your parent/guardian. This is required because anyone who has access to the internet can sign up to be an email pal and PeaceBike cannot check to make sure they are who they say they are. For this reason you should never call or visit your email pal without your parent/guardian´s permission and if your email pal ever writes anything inappropriate to you please contact PeaceBike immediately at penpals@peacebike.org .

Whew!  That was the bad news. The good news is that hundreds of kids around the world from Kenya to Belize are writing to PeaceBike Pen Pals and having great fun! They sometimes send photos, draw pictures, or tell each other stories.

If you decide to become a PeaceBike Email Pal your name, age, gender(boy or girl), and interests will be put on our PeaceBike computers and we will email you an email address of another young person with similar interests. We may give your email, name and interest out to more than one person, but no more than five other young people, so you may receive as many as five messages. As a PeaceBike Email Pal we ask that you write an email back to every person you get an email from. If you are only going to write one email to them, please tell them that you only want to write one email.  

You will be asked for your home address as well, so that you can also write letters to your email pal but everyone in this program has an email address, so that will be your main form of communication

Important Email Note:  Young people in other countries, although some have email addresses, may not have access to email as easily as you do.  Internet access can be very expensive in some countries and some young people can only check their email once a week or once a month.  For this reason make sure that you agree with your email pal as to how often you will write to each other.

If you will remeber these things and have already spoken to your parents about becoming a PeaceBike Email Pal then please fill out the following form.
