826michigan imagines a future where all students readily access their creative voice and confidently stand in the power of their stories. For over 20 years, we have provided free high-quality writing programs to students ages 5-18 in Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Ypsilanti. Our mission is to inspire students to write with skill and confidence, in collaboration with volunteers in their communities. We began in 2005 as a small literary arts project, and have since grown to provide critical literacy support to thousands of students every year. Since our founding, we have delivered free youth writing and tutoring programs to tens of thousands of students across southeastern Michigan. We believe every student, especially those whose voices have been historically marginalized, deserves to write their truths and to be heard. Our creative writing and literacy programs focus on restoring humanity to educational practices with young people by actively creating trauma-informed programs and spaces. We actively work to create and maintain a third space that radically heals and uplifts students of color. Support from our community allows students in our region to receive critical literacy support free-of-charge.
