Our Story
Upasana Prabhu
Founder
After experiencing the impact of handwritten letters following a car accident in high school, I founded Open When Letters (OWLs) to offer this support and connection to those facing loneliness.
Originally launched as a student-run organization at The University of Texas at Austin, OWLs began by hosting workshops with volunteers and delivering letters to students in mentorship programs.
OWLs has now expanded its mission to support anyone struggling with loneliness, including students, the elderly, veterans, and more. We are always looking for new partnerships with community organizations.
