Volunteer and Internship Opportunities

Chess for Success is a dynamic, grassroots organization seeking self-motivated, talented individuals who would like to use their passion and expertise to change the trajectory of students’ lives.

Resource Development
We are seeking an intern to actively participate in the implementation of the organization’s resource development plan for 2013-2014. Chess for Success has a full-service development plan, including but not limited to: peer-to-peer solicitation, sponsorship, an annual event, grants and mail. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with seasoned professionals and a committed and active Board of Directors.
For more information contact Julie Young.

Chess Clubs and Tournaments
Are you a flexible person who likes to be around children and help them to learn the strategies of the Game of Kings? The coaches in our after-school programs may have a position for you! We ask that you make a commitment to attend a club at least once a week, a minimum of twice monthly (ideal would be twice every week).

There are volunteer opportunities for scorekeepers, registration personnel, and judges at our Regional Tournaments in January and February at various locations in the Portland metropolitan area. We are looking at a minimum commitment of four hours per shift.

For more information contact Richard Crockett.
