Currently, we are a chess club that is looking forward to becoming a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
However, the legal expenses and complexities are time consuming and troublesome for our club. We would be extremely thankful if you came along with us on this long journey.

Specific Staff Requirements
Chess Skills
Any instructor or staff member should have at least a basic understanding of the game. We require the knowledge of each piece's movement, checks and mates, special moves (castling, en passant, and promotion), resignations, and draws.
Responsibility
We require our staff and instructors to attend meetings at least once every month--except on periods of hiatus. We host meetings and/or tournaments every week, so it's important that we have enough people to organize the meetings.
Punctuality
We ask our staff to please show up before the event to help set up. If you'll be appearing late or not coming at all, please inform us beforehand. There will be an interest form for the events, please don't fill it out if you're not going to show up.
These are the staff pre-requisites we'd like our staff to have, in order to provide high quality and consistent tournaments.
❗Volunteering Disclaimer ❗
Due to our lack of a non-profit status, your volunteering hours might not count for certain school/government programs.
However, we are still a community-centered organization. Which certain programs accept volunteering hours for.
