Empowering Change Together

At Chess for Change, we believe that chess is more than a game—it's a tool for growth, connection, and transformation.
Founded by passionate high school students, Chess for Change is a youth-led nonprofit dedicated to making chess accessible, exciting, and empowering for everyone. Whether you're a beginner discovering the game for the first time or a seasoned player looking to sharpen your skills, we’re here to support your journey.We run free workshops, community events, school programs, and online resources designed to foster critical thinking, focus, and confidence through chess. Our goal is to create inclusive spaces where people from all walks of life, students, educators, families, and lifelong learners, can come together, learn from one another, and grow.What began as a small local project has grown into a movement fueled by young changemakers. Through every match, every lesson, and every shared moment over a board, we’re building a world where chess belongs to everyone. Join us because every move has the power to create change.
