Events
Orrin has traveled the country for the past several years teaching youth from underserved communities the game of chess and how to succeed in life. You can see upcoming events below and if you don’t see something in your area, you can always make a request for Orrin to speak with your group.
Classes and events are always being formed and planned. If a class has not been formally scheduled, contact us to inquire (Orrin@BeSomeone.org). Our programs are very flexible and can be constructed for any size, group, event, or time schedule. Virtual classes can also be arranged. Orrin is also available to address youth groups as well as adult audiences on a variety of youth and leadership issues.
Virtual presentations: The Covid experience was a good training ground for presenting a variety of instruction virtually. If interested in this possibility, please contact Orrin: orrin@besomeone.org.
