826 Valencia is a San Francisco, California-based nonprofit dedicated to helping students ages six to eighteen improve their writing skills and supporting teachers in their efforts to inspire writing. The organization emphasizes one-on-one tutoring with trained tutors as a core method to drive meaningful learning gains, reflecting the view that strong writing underpins future success. It was founded by author Dave Eggers and educator Ninive Calegari.

The program serves both students and teachers, aiming to equip under-resourced students with essential writing skills and publishing platforms to express their voices. In recent years, 826 Valencia has pursued partnerships to broaden literacy opportunities, including a collaboration with the San Francisco Ed Fund that positioned the nonprofit as a founding partner of the San Francisco Literacy Coalition.
