Looking For Someone Who Worked Or Collaborated In 826 Valencia (san Francisco)?
Hi everyone,
I’m a spanish journalist and I’m preparing a report about 826 VALENCIA (SAN FRANCISCO) and its way of teaching and tutoring children about writing skills. I’d be glad if someone, who worked or collaborated there, could help me answering some questions about his experience.
Thanks a lot!

take a look at their web site on google. They have their history and fact sheet there. If you have the time call them as well, they are primarily run by volunteers and you may catch a friendly one.
They get tons of grant money and donations to run their program, I believe they are trying to buy a building in LA to mirror their program in SF.
My children have gone to 826 on numerous field trips, where they write a story and they bind it so each child gets one before they leave.
She had fun, I prefer California Poets in the Schools myself, with helping children with creative writing, but that’s just my opinion.
