What a great thing this organization is doing. They supplement their operational costs by servicing after school or other fee based programs so that they can teach, free of charge, low income and hard case kids the game of chess. The amazing thing is that these young people, from K-12, become interested in the game, and playing the game has a positive affect on their dispositions. It is nice to witness! The chess coach, Thomas Clem, engages these young people and they like him.
