Coach for Chicago

Become involved in your community through sport!
Help local sports programs through coaching!

WSC has launched “Coach for Chicago” (CFC) to address the lack of coaches and people with sports knowledge to support local sports programs. Coach for Chicago matches schools, parks and social service organizations with enthusiastic volunteers who are committed to helping the youth of Chicago!

Candidates for Coach for Chicago are:
• University students
• Recent graduates
• Anyone who has played a sport!
• Anyone with a dedication to helping Chicago youth learn and grow!

Recipients of Coach for Chicago Coaches are:
• Local schools
• Local parks
• Local organizations
• Any established sports program in need of greater support!

Coach for Chicago aims to:
• Engage adults in their community by volunteering as a coach
• Enable former athletes to remain involved in their sport
• Enhance the community by providing local sport programs with knowledgeable and passionate assistant coaches

How it works:
• World Sport Chicago provides an avenue to connect volunteers and programs
• Volunteer coach and sports organization work out specific arrangements (i.e. location, hours, days of commitment)
• May volunteer in pairs or teams
• Flexible timing and hours determined on an individual basis (as little as 1 hour per week)
