For nearly 2 decades, 826michigan has stoked the limitless dreams of K-12 students via free writing and literacy programs. Their labs, workshops, field trips, and in-school programs inspire students to tell their stories with skill and confidence in collaboration with caring adult volunteers. 

With individualized attention, and as part of a community of supportive peers, 826michigan writers improve their academic performance, develop a sense of belonging, and discover the unique value of their voices.

Each year, more than 3,500 students in Detroit, Ypsilanti, and Ann Arbor have access to 826michigan’s high-quality programs, absolutely free-of-charge. 

Stop by their booth to check out their amazing publications, written entirely by southeastern Michigan students! Visit 826michigan.org to find out more about their summer programs or to apply to volunteer.
