STEM Literacy Programs
With the help of partners and volunteers, 826 Boston delivers programs that support students as they craft and share stories about STEM.
Why is a writing organization working on STEM?
STEM is a huge educational priority right now, for good reason. We need future leaders to take on our biggest challenges, such as the pandemic, climate change, and income inequality. But to solve those problems, we need the voices, lenses, and perspectives of communities of color—the very communities that have been historically excluded from STEM and who bear the heaviest burden of our global crises.
826 Boston is dedicated to literacy and students of color, and we offer programs that affirm students as future leaders in STEM. Our unique niche connects critical thinking and communication. Our approach not only brings more students to STEM—it supports the student voice, storytelling, and problem-framing that students need to advance systemic change.
