DONATEJOIN THE LEAGUE OF SUPERHUMANS
Writing to the Rescue!
Creative writing builds confidence, self-expression and improved performance in school. It also strengthens writing skills. Unfortunately schools, facing pressure to “teach to the test,” don’t provide their students with time for creative self-expression.
826NYC is here to change that.
New York City students deserve an education that ensures that their stories – and their potential – are as boundless as their imaginations. Your donation today helps our young authors write their own futures, regardless of circumstance.
Join the League of SuperHumans with a monthly gift starting at just $15/month or make a special one-time donation to receive heroic benefits and recognition.
