Brilliant young minds abounding with stories make the 826 Valencia Student Showcase a thrilling event providing an intimate glimpse into the joys, struggles, and passions of young San Franciscans. A nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting under-resourced students ages six to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills, 826 Valencia takes to the Gardens with its annual celebration of youth voice. Students from across 826 Valencia’s programs perform their original writing for their families, friends, and fans in this community celebration, which also features live music and activities for families.
