Check Out Some Great Student Writing... and Submit Your Own

If you're not familiar with the non-profit organization 826 yet, that's okay. You're about to be. And you'll be happy about it.

Founded by the author, screenwriter, publisher, and all-around creative genius Dave Eggers, 826 is an organization that supports eight writing and tutoring centers across the country. Those centers offer programs for young writers, aged 6-18, giving them opportunities to improve their skills and explore new facets of their creativity.

The programs at 826 centers include tutoring, field trips, in-school projects, student publishing, and workshops. Last year they served more than 29,000 students directly, and many more via their great online resources.

You can read some of the work being generated at 826 centers right here in their online writing gallery. There's also a link with information on how to submit your own writing, and plenty more details about where to find your nearest chapter.

Enjoy!
