After-School Tutoring
826CHI is packed four afternoons a week with students in 1st through 12th grade working on their homework and sharpening their creative writing skills. Volunteer tutors help students with any and all homework assignments and lead students in daily creative and expository writing activities. Student writing created during tutoring is published in small chapbooks throughout the year, and we regularly host student readings for parents, tutors, and families.
New this year we are offering tutoring for high school students only (no little brothers or sister allowed-unless of course they are in high school, too!) on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. For more information click here.

After-School Tutoring operates Monday through Thursday from 3:00-5:30pm in a drop-in fashion, meaning that students are welcome to come as they need to. Parents of students in grades 1st through 8th must attend an orientation session in order to register their child to participate in the program-no reservations are required. There are currently no scheduled orientations at this time, please check back soon.
High School Tutoring sessions are held on Wednesday evenings from 5:30-7:30pm and on Saturdays from 3:00-5:00pm for students in grades 9 thru 12. No parent orientation is required for students to participate in this high school program. Click here for more information.

- Students stay only as long as they have homework to work on.
- Students are picked up by 5:30 p.m. at the latest.
