In just four short weeks, over 70 students (15% of our total student body) have found a home in our chess clubs. They have found, through chess, that they possess the intellectual capital to achieve their goals. With all of my heart, I want to foster and nurture this newfound hope inside of them. Through the use of these materials, we we bring even more of our at-risk children into the fold of our club and show them that they are powerful young people. In learning the game play, they will come to understand order, planning, strategy, economy, merited promotion, effort, reward, intrinsic motivation, time and material management, and sportsmanship. Our players’ relationships to each other have already shown dramatic improvement during our first month of school. We also provide opportunities for students to become the teacher for their new-coming peers, as well as for all students to take ownership of their club by electing officers to guide the events and learning that the club pursues this year. Please consider helping us in the endeavor!
