826 Valencia equips students with writing skills to create change.

826 Valencia is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages six to eighteen with their creative and expository writing skills and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.

Our services are structured around the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with individualized attention and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success.

Students from under-resourced communities, English Learners, and students of color systemically receive inadequate writing support, yet writing is vital for all school subjects, careers, and life. Through individualized attention from trained tutors, our students build skills, confidence, pride, and the ability to make an impact with their voices. We amplify youth voice in beautiful publications and empower our students to write their own futures.

With every gift, you're not just funding critical programs—you're co-authoring a legacy of empowerment, literacy gains, and collective growth.
