Youth Program Assistant: Chess Club
Grades 8-12
Who are you helping? Staff and patrons attending the Clayton Park Chess Club.
What will you be doing? Set up the room for Chess Club and clean up after. During the program, you'll be running the Welcome table where people sign in. You'll sign people in, keep track of stats, share resources, and let any new people know how the club works and what the expectations are. This is a more independent volunteer position that needs people who are comfortable taking on the leadership it will require. An interest in chess is an asset, but not necessary. Volunteers should have some basic knowledge of the game, but there are other Chess Club people who are there to help with the actual chess.
Who are you? You have an interest in sharing your chess knowledge with others. You understand the basics of chess and are comfortable teaching new players the rules.
When? Wednesdays, 5:00 - 7:45pm, October 21 - December 16, 2026.
