Thanks in part to our volunteer writers in 2024-2025, 246 new Penguins are now enrolled at YSU! Volunteers wrote out over 1,200 postcards in the 2024-2025 campaign to prospective students to encourage them to choose YSU to continue their education.
Whether you have written postcards previously, or just recently signed up, we are thankful for your participation!
Want to be involved in our 2025-2026 postcard campaign? Sign up today!
All postcards must be received back by May 1, 2026.
The Pete’s Pride postcard writing campaign is a volunteer opportunity to share your YSU experience with admitted students. Alumni help increase enrollment by encouraging admitted students to choose Youngstown State. Testimonials written by alumni about the impact of a YSU education help in the decision-making process. It’s an easy and convenient way for service-oriented Penguins to give back.
