826LA

Organization Description

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.

 

Program Information

Our regular programs consist of After-School Tutoring, In-School Writing sessions, Storytelling projects during the week, and Writing workshops on the weekends.

We also have a lot of need for designers familiar with Adobe Creative Suite applications (InDesign especially)
