826 Boston is a nonprofit youth writing and publishing organization that empowers traditionally underserved students ages 6-18 to find their voices, tell their stories, and gain communication skills to succeed in school and in life.
Each 826 Boston Writers’ Room delivers long-term, meaningful change in the lives of students, serving students during and after the school day with individualized attention that improves writing skills and provides a space for creative self-expression. With a focus on publishing, improving writing skills, and project-based learning, the Writers’ Room uses trained volunteer tutors and full-time dedicated staff to unlock students’ full potential. Over the course of a school year, the Writers’ Room will serve every student in the school through whole-class visits, individual writing assistance, and/or after-school extracurricular activities. In 2013, 826 Boston opened its first Writers’ Room, a fully-staffed program modeled on the university writing center and embedded within a public school, at the John D. O’Bryant School of Math and Science. Since then, 826 Boston has opened four additional Writers’ Rooms at Boston Public Schools with offerings such as tutoring and mentoring, writing support, clubs and activities, and publishing projects.
