Be

a superhero and help a kid learn to write. 826 Valencia is a writing center co-founded by author Dave Eggers designed to support students ages 6 to 18 with their writing skills, and to help teachers get their students excited about the writing—all of this disguised as a superhero “supply store.” Besides offering free tutoring, classroom visits, field trips, student publishing and even scholarships, 826 shows kids that writing is fun—it can even turn you into a superhero. 826 Valencia has now grown into a non-profit organization with centers all over the country.
