International Pen Friends. Penpals. Pen pals.

Dear Friend,

Have you ever considered that the greatest friend you may ever have is someone you have never met — living in a land you have never seen or may ever see? Well, we can provide you with new friends or pen pals, in your age group, worldwide. We have over 300,000 members in more than 192 countries.

International Pen Friends (IPF) was founded in Ireland in 1967 by Neil O’Donnell. 1.5 million IPF applications have been processed. Our IPF President is Julie Delbridge in Australia.

International Pen Friends membership is open to everyone from 8 years of age. You can write to your pen friends in English, French, German, Greek, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese languages. IPF members include people such as Architects, Artists, Business people, Clerks, Clergy, Computer Programmers, Cooks, Dancers, Doctors, Engineers, Firefighters, Homemakers, Military, Photographers, Police, Secretaries, Students, Teachers, Technicians, Waiters, Writers, and more.

IPF penpals are FREE. Though penpals or pen friends are free, we require a Processing Fee to provide you with your pen friends. This helps to cover our computer service, postage, printing, employees, and any phone/fax calls. Membership is for one year. After this period, you may renew by submitting another application for additional pen friends.

IPF provides you with 10 - 14 pen friends (based on your age group). They will be mailed to you from IPF in Australia. Allow 6 - 16 weeks for processing and mailing time, so sign up today .

In addition, your name will be distributed to 10 - 14 other IPF members. The pen friends you will receive will be in your age group. You will be matched in your areas of interest, language(s) and countries selected — based on availability. You may receive pen friends in countries you did not select...which will be a pleasant surprise. You can learn from any pen friend, regardless of country. Become a global citizen with increased writing skills through IPF. (Prisoners are not eligible for IPF.)

Subscribe to our IPF “People & Places” magazine
To help you learn how to write to penpals worldwide, this IPF magazine is recommended. It includes 25 full-color pages filled with writing tips for pen friends — to help you write better so you can enjoy your IPF experience.

School Teachers and Student Group Leaders
Students from ages 10 - 17 years may become IPF members in a Student Group of 10 or more members. The membership Processing Fee is $5 per student for 4 pen friends from around the world. This a popular project for many schools worldwide. Students learn responsibility, improve their writing skills, and build confidence in communicating with others in foreign lands.

“If you want to make new friends worldwide and improve your writing skills — IPF is ideal for you. Many pen friends have become lifelong friends and have even met in their homeland. Exciting! This is a valuable experience you cannot get from school.”
