Start a chapter
You bring the volunteers and the space. We bring the training, curriculum, and support. Most chapters run their first session within eight weeks.
Chapters exist to give children consistent coaching in the sports and activities we love — and to give high school students real responsibility. Every chapter welcomes any child regardless of skill, is led by students rather than adults, and keeps classes free, and donates 100% of what it raises to the cause it supports.
A student founder in grade 9–12, at least 1 committed volunteer coach, a safe space to meet weekly (gym, field, library, or classroom), and an adult point of contact for logistics.
Recruit and schedule volunteers, run at least one program season, keep attendance and impact records, communicate with families, and check in quarterly with the principal team.
Volunteer onboarding, child-safety guidelines, session planning workshops, coaching fundamentals for each program, and one-to-one mentoring from an existing chapter director.
Session plan templates, program curricula for sports, chess, and debate, branded materials, a chapter page on this website, fundraising guidance, and an equipment starter stipend where needed.
Questions
No. You need consistency and care. Most of our best coaches are simply reliable people who enjoy working with kids.
