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.
Dear valued volunteers,
The health and safety of our 826 Valencia community is very important to us, and as such we are taking steps to prevent the further spread of the cold, flu, and COVID-19 virus.
In August, the weather in the Bay Area can sometimes be a little too hot to handle, but there’s another type of heating up that all of us at 826 live for — the start to another adventure-filled school year.
Our volunteers come from far and wide to support our programs— some from the magical woods, others from the high seas, and in the case of our July Volunteer of the Month Bratati Karmakar, even from as far as Palo Alto.
