826 National is a family of nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping students, ages 6-18, with expository and creative writing at seven locations across the country. 826 chapters are located in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Ann Arbor, Seattle, and Boston. 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 826 chapter offers drop-in tutoring, field trips, workshops, and in-schools programs — all free of charge — for students, classes, and schools. We are especially committed to supporting teachers, strengthening communities, and helping students express themselves creatively, confidently, and in their own voice.
