Champion Card

Meet the new Champion Card!

The Super Senior Passport is expanding to become the Champion Card in early 2025.

  • What’s the same: Senior residents of Chesterfield County continue to be eligible. Retirees of Chesterfield County Public Schools continue to be eligible. The new card is still free and still offers free admission to some activities at schools. 

  • What’s different: Dedicated school partners and volunteers are now eligible. The new card will feature a photo of the cardholder. Champion Card holders will regularly receive information about school opportunities and may be invited to special events. 

Who can apply

The Champion Card is designed for 

  • Chesterfield County residents who are at least 60 years old

  • Retirees of Chesterfield County Public Schools

  • Partners whose work directly benefits Chesterfield County students, such as leaders of faith communities and dedicated volunteers with CCPS partners

How to apply for a Champion Card

  • If you currently have a Super Senior Passport, then you are encouraged to replace it with a Champion Card. You can do that at one of the sign-up sessions listed below. 

  • If you are eligible but do not currently have a Super Senior Passport or a Champion Card, then you are invited to stop by one of the sign-up sessions listed below. 

  • Senior residents, CCPS retirees and school partners can apply for a temporary Champion Card by filling out this online form. The temporary card will work for a limited time, so you will need to stop by a sign-up session to get your permanent card.

School volunteers

Volunteers are welcome in Chesterfield County Public Schools. Sharing your life experiences, memories, knowledge or friendship with a young person can make a difference. Some seniors spend one or two days a week listening to students read, helping in the school library, being a lunch buddy or mentor or assisting in other ways. To volunteer, fill out this volunteer application and contact the principal or volunteer coordinator at the school you’re interested in.
