Excite Students to Writing 826 National is a nonprofit tutoring, writing and publishing organization with locations in seven cities across the country. The organization's goal is to assist students, aged 6-18, with their writing skills and to help teachers get their classes excited about writing. After the founding of 826 Valencia, the flagship center in San Francisco, educators around the U.S. joined in to pursue the same goals in their local communities. Now 826 Valencia also serves as the headquarters of 826 National, an umbrella organization that coordinates the adaptation of 826's tutoring and mentorship model in other cities. Already, 826 has sister centers in New York, Los Angeles, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Seattle and Boston. Through volunteer support, each of the seven 826 chapters provides drop-in tutoring, class field trips, writing workshops and in-schools programs-all free of charge. 826 chapters are especially committed to supporting teachers, publishing student work and offering services for English language learners.
