About this organization
Mission
826CHI is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write. Our services are structured around the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention, and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success. 826CHI is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Chicago youth. We encourage the exploration of endless possibility through the power of writing for students, for teachers, and for communities.
About
AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING AND WRITING: IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT GREAT LEAPS IN LEARING HAPPEN WHEN STUDENTS RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION, WHICH IS WHY 826CHI OFFERS FREE DROP-IN TUTORING MONDAY - THURSDAY FROM 3:00 PM TO 5:30 PM DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. WHILE THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE MAJORITY OF OUR PROGRAMS IN WRITING, OUR VOLUNTEER TUTORS ARE ABLE TO WORK ONE-ON-ONE WITH STUDENTS ON THEIR HOMEWORK IN ANY SUBJECT. EACH DAY, HOWEVER, BEGINS WITH A TRIP TO THE WRITING TABLES, WHERE STUDENTS RESPOND TO A CREATIVE WRITING PROMPT. EVERY SIX WEEKS STUDENTS REVISE ONE PIECE OF WRITING, WHICH IS THEN PUBLISHED IN A CHAPBOOK. FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF EACH CHAPBOOK WITH A STUDENT READING. AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORING AND WRITING WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS WHO COMMIT THEIR TIME EACH YEAR.
