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.
826 Valencia is partnering with schools and community-based organizations in the Tenderloin who are committed to empowering student voices, and we're seeking your support!
826 Valencia is expanding.
The Mission district-based literacy nonprofit, which has promoted creative writing in students ages 6 to 18 for the past 13 years, secured a 15-year lease in the Tenderloin, the organization announced on Friday.
826 Valencia has signed a lease for the former site of Big Boy Market at Golden Gate Avenue and Leavenworth Street, a historically crime-heavy intersection.
