We’ll be at Lit Lit today with The Time Travel Mart, hope to see you there!

@jonathanealey @caafoundation Thank you for supporting our students!

Volunteered with @826LA & @caafoundation to help students edit their college essays. I was so impressed. Seeing their resilience despite really difficult circumstances was inspiring and really raised the bar for how I want to show up privately and in my career.

@EisnerFound @MIAging @houseofruthinc @LACMA @LALGBTCenter @LAPhil @BreseeLA We’re so grateful! Thank you!

We're proud to announce our latest grantees: @826LA @MIAging @houseofruthinc @LACMA @LALGBTCenter @LAPhil @BreseeLA and Stars. Learn more about their work here: eisnerfoundation.org/news/the-eisne…

We can’t wait to host our community for this sold out event! 🎉📝

Hey @jack we heard you're looking for organizations to support. We're throwing our hat in the ring! #$826la #girlauthors #mindfulnesswriting #startsmall

A lot has happened since we were last active on here! But excited to share that our team continues to shine to ensure we can continue providing our free #creativewriting and expository writing programs for #la youth! Congrats on the promotion Carinne!

Tacos. The heart of many stories and many meals. #StudentWritingWednesday

Coming soon to this space: a new Time Travel-inspired art installation! We need materials: doors, shutters, windows, cabinets. If you have materials, please email mike@826la.org. We also welcome monetary donations: 826LA.org/donate (enter "Time Travel Art Installation").

Congratulations to all the winners of North East Trees' annual Poet-Tree contest, including 826LA students Sophia, Lilly, Fatima, Naomi, and Bernardo! Teaching artist Jessica Wilson led a poetry workshop with our students (pictured), and new nature poets bloomed!

Grown With Love is the title of a new chapbook by students in Dr. Bamotra's class at Roosevelt High School's Medical Pathway (it's also a good description of all our programs). Students celebrated by reading aloud their vulnerable, evocative poems that explore identity.

I Ain't No Scooby Doo, But I Think I Just Solved a Mystery is the latest collection of mysterious stories from students in our tutoring program...and one of many titles that could be yours when you join 826LA's Future Bestsellers Club. Sign up at donate.826la.org/campaign/fy23-….

It's June, but it was sprinkling in LA this morning. Time will definitely mess with your mind, and we agree with Elvia—that's a crime.

Stephen King @StephenKing said, "Books are a uniquely portable magic." The Time Travel Mart carries dozens of tiny time machines in the form of books both by and for children and adults. Find your next vehicle at timetravelmart.com.

Such great work from students and @826LA!

826LA's student authors are a prolific bunch! This spring, we're publishing FIVE books—by students in our tutoring programs, at Roosevelt High School, and at Helen Bernstein High School. Visit our blog for more about each book. 826la.org/spring-publica…
