Are you looking to start a community nonprofit and curious about what it takes? Are you dying to get a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and successful business model? Are you looking for answers to the questions you face every day in your nonprofit? Registration is open for our expanded, two-day nonprofit business and programming seminar and workshop on January 20th and 21st from 11am-5pm on Friday, and 9am-5pm on Saturday.

Teachers, tutors, nonprofit visionaries, and supporters of 826 National gather from around the globe to take part in this workshop to learn about what we do and bring fresh ideas back home. Attendees will gain insight into operations, fundraising and development, volunteer recruitment and retention, and much more.

Take a look at the feedback we’ve received from workshop attendees in the past:

“It was tremendously empowering and eye-opening. I appreciated the great energy and candor of the presenters. The information shared was excellent… and often surprising.” — Amy Rogers, Charlotte, NC

“I can’t wait to go back to my school and community and talk to people, do research, [and] plant seeds to get something like this started.” — Jennifer Hekkers, Denver, CO

“Thank you! This will be extremely helpful to our young writing and tutoring center as we begin to offer more regular service. I probably got twenty good answers to small problems that I’ve faced over the past few months. It is invaluable to learn from the people who have made this model work from scratch.” — Mike Agresta, Austin, TX
