About us
826LA is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write. Our services are structured around our understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention, and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success. With this in mind, we provide after-school tutoring, evening and weekend workshops, in-school tutoring, help for English language learners, and assistance with student publications. All of our programs are challenging and enjoyable, and ultimately strengthen each student's power to express ideas effectively, creatively, confidently, and in his or her individual voice. We are always looking for volunteers who enjoy working with young people and using their creative talents to support the local community! For more information on volunteering, visit 826la.org/volunteer. You can also support 826LA by shopping the Time Travel Mart, a convenience store for time travelers, at timetravelmart.com.

For our students, 826LA is a “third space”—a place beyond home and school where they feel safe, valued, and free to express themselves. Here, we cultivate creativity, foster community, and plant seeds of joy. Every young person deserves this space, especially when the world around them feels uncertain or even dangerous or cruel. Thank you for standing with us and our students. - The 826LA Team ❤️🧡💛

✨ Adventure awaits for your students! We had an incredible experience with Beethoven Street Elementary during our 'Choose Your Own Adventure' writing workshop, where 5th graders truly embraced their creativity. 📝 These young authors crafted imaginative plots and inventive endings, sparking excitement and enthusiasm for writing. One student even shared, "I want to write another story!"—a wonderful reminder of the inspiration we aim to cultivate in young minds. If you’re looking to inspire your students and foster their love for storytelling, consider planning a field trip with us at 826LA. Together, we can create engaging experiences that unleash creativity and encourage lifelong writing skills. A big thank you to everyone who made this field trip memorable! Let’s inspire the next generation of writers together! #826LA #ChooseYourOwnAdventure #FieldTrips #YoungWriters #ImaginationUnleashed #Educators
