## About

###### 826 Boston is a nonprofit writing, tutoring, and publishing organization where students grades K-12 and beyond can share their stories, amplify their voices, and develop as leaders in school and in life. Our services are structured around the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success.

###### Volunteers tutor younger students on homework and help them write a collection of creative stories in our youth writing and tutoring center. Each of our free programs seeks to empower students to express their ideas effectively, creatively, confidently, and in their individual voices, and our volunteers are a big part of making that happen.
