A national movement on a local scale
The 826 Network’s community writing centers, field-tested educator resources, and insightful research are transforming writing education across the United States.
We’re focused on serving more students than ever before.
Writing education can happen inside or outside the classroom. We inspire students wherever they are.
Where communities celebrate student writing
From nine brick-and-mortar writing and tutoring centers to countless programs at local schools, 826 chapters and partners work within their communities to help more students build writing skills and express their ideas.
Amplifying student voices
Publishing books by young writers is one of our favorite activities. We empower students by providing platforms to share their voices and opportunities to see their words in print.
826 anywhere
826 Digital provides free teaching resources and lesson plans to educators and parents nationwide. Students can see their words published online in the 826 Digital Writing Gallery.
