We're looking for our next generation of youth leaders! If you have an ambitious preteen or teen who loves chess, we'd love to hear from you!
The Pawn Project is a youth ran nonprofit in Purcellville where youth earn monthly volunteer hours by mentoring players and creating a fun, welcoming community. No experience needed. You provide a love of the game - and we'll provide the training!
