Chicago YSA Field Day is June 3, 2017!
Looking for a fun volunteer opportunity? Would you enjoy leading and playing field day games with children from local Chicago elementary schools? Join other local Terps as we represent the University of Maryland at the sixth annual Chicago YSA Field Day!
What is it?
In cooperation with all 14 Big Ten alumni associations of the greater Chicago area, Chicago Youth Sports Alliance sponsors the one-day sports and fitness experience for fourth- through sixth-graders from underserved communities in Chicago. More than 350 students from 14 local elementary schools will attend the event. The students are paired with an alumni group for the day and rotate through 14 different activity stations run by the alumni associations. The children participate in athletic-based games, hear from a special guest speaker and learn about Big Ten universities in one fun and engaging event!
What do I do?
As a volunteer, you will help run the University of Maryland's “Water Balloon Volleyball” station, motivate and encourage the students and make a positive impact on the youth of Chicago! Field day volunteers will receive a 2017 Chicago YSA Field Day T-shirt in our school’s colors, so make sure to register before May 10 and select your T-shirt size.
