Neighbors helping neighbors, one community at a time

Chicago Urban Honor Syndicate is a nonprofit for community and neighborhood development in Chicago. Our programs start in North Lawndale, one of the city's 77 community areas: events, a winter coat drive, jobs and a say in what happens next.

How it works

  1. Join

    Sign up here with a phone number or an email, or at one of our tables with a volunteer.

  2. Your address, if a program asks

    You can have an account without one. Our coat drive is for North Lawndale neighbors, and a street address is how that check is made. A ZIP code alone doesn't count, and your address is never published.

  3. Choose what you want to see

    Tell us which kinds of help you care about. Your events list follows that, and you can change it whenever you want.

What's coming up

Online sign-ups and listings open soon. Questions? Write to hello@chicagouhs.org.

Programs

Here is what we are starting with in North Lawndale, one of Chicago's 77 community areas. Each program has its own page.

To help at a table, write to us.

For youth

YN Academy is a separate organization, and you sign up on their site. It is not a program of this organization, and it is not one of the pages in the programs list.

Our status

The IRS has recognized Chicago Urban Honor Syndicate as a 501(c)(3) organization and classified it as a public charity. We received the determination in October 2026.

Donations

Donations are coming soon, after state charity registration. Illinois asks a charity to register with the Attorney General before it asks the public for gifts, and we are doing that first. Until then this site does not ask for money.
