Volunteers Needed!
Volunteers Needed!
Parents/Grandparents: We could use your help. The chess program is run by parent volunteers. We can ALWAYS use more help, but especially the first 6 weeks. We mostly need parents to read the guidebooks to students and help them keep on track progressing through the program. Student progress is slowed when we don’t have enough parents. Chess experience is helpful, but not necessary! We don’t have a volunteer schedule, just come when you can. Check out the Volunteer Information page more information.
