Activities or mission (Part I)

Supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their writing skills & helping teachers get students excited about writing. We advocate that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success & that great leaps in learning can be made when skilled tutors work one-on-one with students.

  • In-School Programs: 826 Valencia partners with public schools throughout San Francisco to collaboratively develop writing curricula. We also bring teams of 826 staff and volunteer tutors to partner schools where we support students 3:1 with writing projects. In FY24, we supported 22 teachers and 788 students at 5 schools, establishing regular weekly partnerships with classrooms and supporting a variety of writing projects. One highlight was our Young Authors Book Project in spring 2024. We worked with tenth and eleventh grade students at Balboa High School, where students wrote autoethnographies,which were published in a book entitled,"Universe of Memories," with a foreword written by guest teaching artist, author Daniel Nayeri.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
