826 National - Better education through writing | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
826 National is a nonprofit organization that provides strategic leadership, administration, and other resources to ensure the success of its network of eight writing and tutoring centers. 826 National’s chapters are dedicated to providing under-resourced students, ages 6 to 18, with opportunities to explore their creativity and improve their writing skills. We also aim to help teachers inspire their students to write. Our mission is based on the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with individualized attention, and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success.

We connect volunteers with young people in school who need additional support, inspiring older generations to inspire the next. The team here at EdConnect has been training volunteers and connecting them with local schools across Australia for over 20 years. At any one time, we have over 1,300 volunteers active in more than 260 schools across the country.

The academic and social support our volunteers provide – through one-on-one mentoring and classroom learning support – provide both a safety net and a springboard for young people who might otherwise struggle to realise their potential, in school and life.

This is one of my most favourite TED talks. Funny and they archive some real educational results for children.
