We, Chicago Public Schools Department of Academic Competitions, are finalizing plans for the 2019-2020 Academic Chess Program and are in need of hundreds of volunteers to ensure the competitions are fair and equitable. We are in need of your support!
Academic Chess provides elementary school and high school students in grades (K-12) from diverse communities across the city with an opportunity to participate in vibrant chess programs. The CPS Academic chess students participate in after school compete in tournaments throughout the year. Tournaments include the CPS Academic Chess City play-offs, City Championship, as well as State and National tournaments.
We have several rewarding roles and duties that you can register for to support our students. We would greatly appreciate your help in ensuring that we have a successful competition this year. It’s a great way to connect with students and support months of hard work. Confirmed volunteers will receive information regarding roles and responsibilities as well as training on the day of competition. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided for volunteers based on your volunteer schedule.
