We’ve accomplished a lot this year – we’ve had 108 drop in students, we’ve published 7 Dogtown books, including our most recent, Cammeron’s Galactic Empire. 826LA has been published in the McSweeny’s book, Thanks and Have Fun Running the Country, and in Good Magazine.

Drop-in tutoring, the most fundamental program we offer here at 826LA, allows tutors to work one-on-one with students, helping them to do their best on their homework and to master concepts. But it is also a program that encourages and bolsters creativity and a sense of community.

The school year may be coming to a close, but there is a lot to look forward to this coming summer. We will once again be offering ELL camp this July - a camp for young learners to improve both their speaking and written English skills. We will also be offering Reality TV camp. This camp will allow students ( aged 11-18) to write, direct, edit, and produce their own reality TV show. Those young writers not interested in TV can indulge in a workshop on persona poems or documentary films.
