Hi Amanda! Awesome suggestions. We didn’t have One Brick on our list, so we’ll definitely take a look at them! Thanks!

Chicago Books to Women in Prison

They pack on Sundays and take volunteer groups. From what I recall, they are extra appreciative of groups that bring packing supplies with them (tape, paper, markets, etc.).

Jane Addams Hull House Association
http://hullhouse.org/supportus/volunteer.html
There are long term volunteer opportunities as well as one-off large group opportunities. Check with Mark Tisdahl for group sessions. His number is 312-235-5379.

One Brick

Not sure if they have any literacy/library specific events coming up, but they may in the future.

I have *absolutely* no idea for literacy or libraryish places to volunteer…I’m elbows-deep in brittle paper, but I would be happy to help at any literacy or library organization.

There are also a bunch of archives in the area that could use some serious help. I don’t know how far out we want to get, but that might be worth a consideration.

Here is a brief idea of what each group entails:

Charity Liaison Group — This group will focus on finding charities and organizations for the Deskset to support. Not only would this include funding, but also coordinating volunteer activities.

Events and Spaces Group — This group will focus on planning events for Chicago Deskset events, this will include location, activities etc…

Professional Development Activities — This group will focus on building the competencies, skills, and general knowledge of our members. They will also focus on creating networking opportunities.

Marketing Group — This group will be responsible for promoting Chicago Deskset events, activities and expanding membership.

I hope this information helps.

Do you have a description of the various groups and some overall expectations/goals for each of them? It may help in deciding where best to focus our respective talents. Thanks!
