ABOUT WORKSHOPS AT 826LA
Our mission for Workshops is to build community while supporting students in exploring new and creative ways to use writing to discover themselves, practice self-care, hone their storytelling skills, support college access, and apply their STEM abilities. The goal is to redefine student's relationship to writing so that it can be seen as a fun and useful tool, rather than an academic chore.
