Description

826 Seattle is the city's only writing center entirely dedicated to helping students, ages 6-18, improve their written communication skills. All 826 programs are structured around the belief that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention and that strong writing skills are fundamental to a child's future success. With the help of hundreds of volunteers, 826 Seattle offers free after-school tutoring, special writing workshops, one-on-one mentoring by professional writers, and many other opportunities for Seattle students to improve their ability to communicate effectively in writing.
