Q: What’s your favorite part of 826NYC?
A: What I like most about 826NYC is how every student is valued and appreciated. The program meets students where they are in their skills and interests. Students are encouraged to express themselves and use their imagination as they develop their writing skills. They also have the opportunity to feel part of a community, and many friendships develop as a result.
