Chess Champions empowers volunteers and players to develop confidence and leadership qualities. Through mentoring and game-play, we cultivate essential skills that will benefit community members throughout their lives. As participants of all ages engage in friendly competition, they learn effective communication, express themselves to others, and develop social skills.

People of all ages and backgrounds come together to play chess. Children find friends they return to play with, families bond over the games, and senior citizens enjoy teaching and playing with the kids. Even though we may have our differences, chess brings us all together.
