TESTIMONIALS

"Just wanted to extend a big thanks to 826 National for giving us a huge push at the 101 Seminar last January. Without your help, we would not have made the progress we have, and would have missed the opportunity to work with the incredible kids at Chase Elementary, our first partner school, just two blocks from our writing center. Their stories are priceless."
— Libby Hunter, WordPlay, Cincinnati, OH

“Thank you! [The 101 Seminar] 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

“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 [an 826 chapter] started.”
— Jennifer Hekkers, Denver, CO
