Mission Statement

Each year, the 826 National network provides more than 32,000 under-resourced students ages 6-18 with free after-school tutoring, creative writing workshops, and in-school writing and reading support.

About This Cause

826 National is a nonprofit organization that provides strategic leadership, administration, and other resources to ensure the success of its network of seven writing and tutoring centers. 826 centers offer a variety of inventive programs that provide under-resourced students, ages 6-18, with opportunities to explore their creativity and improve their writing skills. We also aim to help teachers get their classes excited about writing. 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. Last year our tutoring centers — located in Ann Arbor/Detroit/Ypsilanti, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. — served over 32,000 students.
