Come Build Something Improbable with Us
826 National, the largest youth writing network in the country, is looking for a design partner to reimagine 826 Digital—a free writing platform that brings 826’s joyful, rigorous approach to writing instruction to 25,000 educators and more than 950,000 students each year.
Your mission? Redesign 826 Digital so that it feels like walking into an 826 chapter: playful, immersive, beautiful, a little improbable, and serious about writing instruction. A teacher arriving after a long day should feel a small lift, a spark of inspiration, and find the resources they need without friction.
You’ll be in good company. Past 826 brand partners include Target, Cartoon Network, Paramount Pictures, Moleskine, Scout Books, AT&T, and Gensler. Paramount Pictures recently won two Anthem Awards for The Big Book of IFs, and Barkley’s “Poets in Revolt” campaign was recognized in Ads of the World. Our work with young authors has been featured on Good Morning America and CBS.
This is a pro-bono/low-bono engagement with potential to transform what’s possible for tens of thousands of educators and nearly one million young writers across the country.
