Why Writing?


Help the next generation of leaders, dreamers, and creators write the future.


Investing in a young writer is a small step that can lead to big change for our youth and our communities. 


826 National reaches over 470,000 students annually with our free writing programs. Starting on this GivingTuesday, you can help cultivate a new generation of creative and diverse thinkers, who will write us into a better, brighter, and more compassionate future.
