826 National CEO Laura Brief and 826DC Board member Miah Daughtery recently sat down with NWEA’s Teach. Learn. Grow. Education blog for an in-depth conversation on how 826 National and our nine chapters across the U.S. empower young writers and elevate the national dialogue on writing.
In this article, they explore topics ranging from tapping into student motivation, to creating welcoming third spaces, to providing meaningful audiences for youth writing.
As Miah says—allowing students to be their vulnerable selves, helping them put words to paper, and letting them bravely tell their stories can be magic—and we couldn’t agree more. 🪄
