Coaches & Mentors Needed!

We have more students than ever registered for this fall, necessitating the addition of a fourth team.  Let me introduce the Chelsea Surge, # 26293!   The Suge will be joining Chelsea Crash, Glitch and Gremlins this fall.   

We are in serious need of new Coaches and Mentors to help support our teams.  In particular we are looking for Coaches for the Chelsea Glitch and Surge.   Coaches are expected to work with another Coach and be present on most Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.  Mentors support the team broadly by providing support building the robot, documentation, supervising activities and feeding the students.   If interested, please complete this form:

All volunteers will work alongside veterans and be provided all the training necessary.  No experience needed to help out in any of these roles other than a desire to help our students grow and have an amazing experience.
