826 Valencia is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting under-resourced students ages six to eighteen with their creative and expository writing skills and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.
This spring, we are offering middle school students the opportunity to strengthen their writing skills while exploring their identity and voice. During this six-week workshop, students will use writing for self-exploration and advocacy, culminating in a class publication.
Come join us for a nautical writing adventure on the high seas! The workshop will begin with an OPTIONAL trip to San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, where you will tour the Award Winning Visitor Center filled with unique maritime artifacts. Learn about lighthouses, passenger ships, underwater worlds and more! During the second two sessions, you will craft stories, sea songs, poems or letters, incorporating the sites and sounds of the sea. Students will read their writing aloud for family and friends at 826 Valencia on Sunday, February 9th.
Explore different genres and styles of writing! Be a published writer!
