826 National is a family of eight nonprofit organizations
dedicated to helping students, ages 6-18, with expository and
creative writing.
Our mission is based on the understanding that great leaps in
learning can happen with one-on-one attention, and that strong
writing skills are fundamental to future success.
Each chapter offers drop-in tutoring, field trips, workshops,
and in-schools programs — all free of charge — for
children, classes, and schools with particular interests or
particular needs.
826 is especially committed to supporting teachers, offering
services and resources for English language learners, and
publishing student work. All locations offer unique retail
experiences as well.
