A donation to 826 Boston means so much to our young writers:
- $3,500 allows us to publish a book of stories such as 2% of 2% of All the World's Stories, written by our after-school students.
- $1,000 is enough for one student to attend a whole year of after-school tutoring.
- $500 supports one student attending our summer science writing camp, "Fiddler Crabs, Millipedes, Leeches & Sea Serpents, Oh Yeah!"
- $250 is enough to create chapbooks for 20 weekend workshops like "Odes to Common Things" and "Words of the Wise."
- $100 allows a class to publish their own tall tale like Bud, the Grumpy Earthquake during a Bookmaking & Storytelling field trip.
