In the Community
826CHI partners with a number of non-profit organizations throughout Chicago. Oftentimes these partnership opportunities take the form of 826CHI staff and volunteers facilitating various creative and expository writing activities for an organization’s students. Through our partnership program, we strive to reach audiences that we don’t often see at our center; bring writing components to organizations who may not have a strong focus on writing; and propagate our project-based model through an emphasis on publishing student work.
