We are thrilled to announce that we are kicking off another exciting year of youth leadership programming at 826 Valencia, starting September 15, 2025! 🗣️ We are now accepting applications for both the Youth Leadership Advisory Board (YLAB) and the Black Literary Achievement Club (BLAC).
Both programs offer students the opportunity to grow as writers, leaders, and mentors while earning a $1,000 stipend for completing the required hours. ✍️ Please help us spread the word by sharing these opportunities with youth, families, educators, and community partners who might benefit from joining our leadership community.

Thank you for supporting outreach and helping us continue to build powerful, youth-led spaces this school year!
