826 MSP is a small nonprofit youth writing center based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and part of the 826 national network. It aims to amplify the voices of K-12 BIPOC students through writing, publishing, and leadership programs, prioritizing partnerships with schools where at least half of students receive free or reduced-price lunch. The organization offers free programs for students, classrooms, and schools across the Twin Cities Metro Area, including after-school homework help, field trips focused on bookmaking and storytelling, creative writing workshops, in-school tutoring partnerships, and the Young Authors' Book Project. The center operates as a third space outside school and home, supported by volunteers, where students can dive into their stories and studies. Its project-based approach helps students develop their own voice while building academic, personal, and professional skills.
