NBC NIGHTLY NEWS: Making a Difference - "Brooklyn Superhero Supply Store"

NBC news reporter Willie Geist investigates the Brooklyn, NY Superhero Supply Store; the Ann Arbor, MI Robot Repair Shop; the Boston, MA Bigfoot Research Institute and the San Francisco, CA Pirate Store.

These are all part of 826 National which is:

a network of nine nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping students, ages 6-18, with expository and creative writing.

Our mission is based on the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention, and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success.

Each chapter offers after-school tutoring, field trips, workshops, and in-schools programs — all free of charge — for children, classes, and schools with particular interests or particular needs.

826 is especially committed to supporting teachers, offering services and resources for English language learners, and publishing student work. All locations offer unique retail experiences as well.
