    Starting Pay is $20 an hour. (Possibly more for very well qualified candidates) Coaches are in charge of supervising our fun, exciting environment at nearby elementary schools. Our mission is to provide each student with the opportunity to improve at chess while having fun and making friends – and also to provide a wonderful long-term work environment for our team members.

    To ensure the safety of our employees and our customers, all staff is fully vaccinated against the Covid-19 virus and has also received the booster dose of the vaccine.
