Community Agreement

The Good Things Mail Club exists to create meaningful human connection through handwritten letters. Every member helps shape a community where people feel welcome and respected.

As a member, I agree to:

  • Write with kindness, honesty, and respect.
  • Treat every correspondent with dignity, even when we differ.
  • Share my perspectives without expecting agreement.
  • Avoid criticizing, shaming, manipulating, or provoking others.
  • Respect personal boundaries and never pressure others to continue or share more than they wish.
  • Foster curiosity, empathy, and thoughtful conversation.
  • Acknowledge our diverse backgrounds and viewpoints; share my experiences—including those involving religion or politics—without trying to persuade others to adopt my beliefs.
  • Approach conversations about religion or politics with care and only engage when there is clear mutual interest.
  • Protect the privacy of fellow members by not sharing personal information, letters, or addresses without permission.
  • Contribute to a space where people feel encouraged, supported, and genuinely connected.

Our Guiding Principle

Before sending a letter, ask yourself:

“Will this letter leave the other person feeling respected, encouraged, and more connected?”

If the answer is yes, you’re writing in the spirit of the Good Things Mail Club.
