The Project
826 Valencia partnered with Everett Middle School’s 8th Grade Creative Writing class. Throughout the semester students interviewed a woman in their lives and dove deep into food history and cultural connection.

During this Project
Yareli was serving as the In-Schools, Program Manager for 826 Valencia. She developed a partnership with Everett’s Librarian to bring forth a curriculum that celebrated culture, identity, and food history. Yareli facilitated the class both in English and Spanish, and translated all the materials needed for this project and for the publication.
