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.
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.
We recently opened our enchanted forest-themed third location in San Francisco’s newest neighborhood, Mission Bay, with support from the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation.
