Write After School

Reading and writing go together like peanut butter and jelly. Write After School students work alongside 826NYC staff and volunteers to build their reading, writing, social-emotional skills, and unleash their imagination as they play and learn about the power of language. Three times per year, students revise their creative writing for publications that are printed in English and Spanish and shared with families, volunteers, and community members at celebratory readings.

Write After School will be held virtually over the Fall 2020 semester and will resume in-person at our Park Slope center and Williamsburg satellite beginning in 2021.
