Chicago youth are experiencing violence, sometimes daily. Teaching youth to make better decisions and engage respectfully is essential to the solution. Learning chess teaches students to identify and analyze alternatives and evaluate consequences before acting. Chess training also promotes good sportsmanship.
Chess Against Violence is comprehensive, multiple-week chess instruction event culminating in a fun, competitive chess tournament. We need individual sponsors to support our Chess Against Violence anti-violence initiative. Please consider donating at whatever level you can, to improve the prospects of Chicago youth.
