826 National

826 National is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping students, ages 6-18, with expository and creative writing at seven locations across the country.  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 chapter offers drop-in tutoring, field trips, workshops, and in-schools programs -- all free of charge -- for children, classes, and schools with particular interest or particular need.  826 is especially committed to supporting teachers, offering services and resources for English language learners, and publishing student work.  Several locations offer unique retail experiences as well.
