Writing for Change

by 826 National
This Educator Tool shares a collection of 826 resources and Mentor Texts that foster creating social change through writing.
What You Will Do

At 826 National, we believe that writing changes everything. Writing is a tool with incredible potential to transform lives, communities, and the future. 

Every day across the 826 Network, we work toward a country where all students, particularly those who have been under-represented, marginalized, and underserved, have access to the power and joy of writing. We envision a world where every student has the tools, the agency, and the confidence to write their own way forward.
