The International Alliance of Youth Writing Centers will present an exclusive international youth library and reading room exhibition at 849 Valencia Street in San Francisco's Mission District, featuring works from 68 youth writing centers from across the world, written by school-aged writers.
All over the world, nonprofit youth writing centers-based on the spirit and vision of the original 826 Valencia in San Francisco-provide homework help, writing instruction, and other support to school-aged students in their communities. Much of this work culminates in professional-level publication of students' writing. Over the years since 826 Valencia was founded by author Dave Eggers and educator Ninive Calegari in 2002, these dozens of organizations have published thousands of books-short story anthologies, essay collections, single-author novels by teenagers, cookbooks, chapbooks, comic books, newspapers and myriad other works.
A few examples of youth-written works that will be available in this exhibition's reading room:
*A Sunday Afternoon Hotdog Meal: A Guide to Chicago by 826 CHI students (2007)
*Enjoy! Recipes for Building Community, Memoirs, Letters & recipes by 36 multilingual students in Ypsilanti, Michigan (2014)
*Pandemic's Labyrinth, An Austin Bat Cave Anthology (2021)
Beginning in September, the exhibit will be free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to come in, select from an array of student-written books, and spend time reading in a relaxing environment.
The exhibition will be on display through the end of the year and will be open to the public weekday afternoons and Saturdays until 6pm.
The International Alliance of Youth Writing Centers is the loosely-formed coalition of writing centers in the 826 National network and several dozen others around the world.
