Every month we honor an 826CHI volunteer who has gone above the beyond and beyond the above in their dedication to our organization. Read about this month’s Spy of the Month below.
Congratulations, Spy! How does it feel?
It feels awesome! I’ve always felt appreciated when I come to volunteer but being Spy of the Month makes me feel special :-)
How did you first get involved as 826CHI?
I first got involved with 826CHI through one of my professors. He recommended that I observed here and I’ve been volunteering ever since.
We have so many talented and enthusiastic writers every day at 826CHI and every month we highlight just one from any of our programs. Read about the current Writer of the Month below.

Alliances are essential to any secret agent’s success. That’s why we honor people and organizations as allies we can trust to make a gift, offer pro-bono services, or otherwise support our students. Read about a current alliance below.
Ace Hotel Chicago lives in a stoic, industrial building in the West Loop, once home to an Italian-American cheesemaking company. A monument to the city itself, Ace Chicago is honored to throw down roots in the Most Forward-Thinking City there is and to work alongside organizations who have long championed their communities.
Partnerships are central to our mission and 826CHI proudly collaborates with organizations serving youth across Chicago. Learn about the impact of a partner for which we are especially grateful.
826CHI's alliance with Imagination began in fall 2018 when Imagination employees enthusiastically worked side-by-side with students during morning field trips. More than 20 team members supported and motivated young Chicago authors. Our work together continues, with service trips on the books for this school year. Imagination's deep, meaningful, and consistent engagement exemplifies what true partnership can look like between nonprofits and Chicago's business community.
