At Chicago Training Center we rely heavily on the help of volunteers to keep the team functioning properly; however, we also partner with Up2Us Sports through AmeriCorps to give a partial stipend to qualified individuals. We like to think of these positions as internships because these individuals are categorized as volunteers/service members with a living stipend. We offer seasonal and full year positions as coaches and program development staff, if you are interested in volunteering between 20 to 35 hours a week to our program inquire below!
