826 Valencia is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting under-resourced students ages six to eighteen with their creative and expository writing skills and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.
The San Francisco Standard spoke to 826 Valencia Programs Manager Precediha Dangerfield for a recent story on the challenges mothers face while raising children in the Tenderloin.
Our students’ writing doesn’t just appear in books. It’s been on coffee cups, in bus shelters, on the walls of bakeries, and on the top of pizza boxes (just to name a few).
