Looking for ways to participate that don’t involve your hard earned cash?

 

Our Board of Directors and volunteers are primarily made up of Parents and Coaches, most of whom were FPS participants or have kids currently in the program, and have been involved for years if not decades.

 

Join us in expanding the program to give the gift of academic competition to even more kids in California!

 

Become a Coach

FPS is primarily led by teachers as part of their school day or as an extracurricular activity,

but that’s not the only way to start a team!

Parents and higher level students (grade 9 and above), can also train to as Coaches.

​

To discuss becoming a Coach, upcoming Coaches training, or to request coaching materials,

please contact our Co-Affiliate Director Ariella Leeder.

​

Become an Evaluator

Coaches, administrators, parents and even students can become evaluators. We offer free trainings, and mentoring to support evaluators as they learn the process.

 

All potential evaluators must be familiar with the program. Students may certify in 9th grade and begin evaluating in 10th grade.

 

Evaluations for PP1 start at the end of October.

Evaluations for PP2 start mid December.

Evaluations for the Qualifying Problem start mid February.

 

Check the current calendar for specific dates. [link to calendar page]

 

To discuss becoming an Evaluator, please contact our Co-Affiliate Director Sandy Mocharnuk.

​

Are you Board Material?

We elect a new Board every year in June. If you have previous Board or other applicable experience as a Treasurer or Secretary please get in touch with us.

 

We also need ongoing support for Fundraising, and Marketing.

To discuss your interest in joining the cafps.org board or other ways you can lend your support and expertise,
