About Us
How It All Started
Since the inception of 826 Valencia in San Francisco in 2002, the youth writing and mentoring charity has inspired people and organisations to replicate the model in their locales. The blend of literacy and community volunteerism has inspired more than 50 organisations globally and created an international movement of youth writing that currently works with more than 150,000 children worldwide each year. In 2019, the organisation created a charter defining their work, how they will work together, and what they hope to achieve.
