We can’t transform writing education alone.
Partners help us share the “826 Way” with more students and classrooms every day.
Community-driven change
We partner with community organizations in cities that already have 826 chapters and those that operate in completely new corners of the country. Together, we customize curriculum and design programs to share the power and joy of writing.
