As parents struggle to find
pleasurable and worthwhile activities for their children, programs
that challenge children to learn are becoming scarce. ChessKidz
promotes the game of chess as a learning device
realizing that learning is a lifelong process. Children will
participate in a program that inspires learning and develops skills
that will provide benefits for the rest of their lives.
*ChessKidz is a local non-profit organization in
need of sponsors who will help us to develop chess as a recognized
and respected local activity for our youth.
Help Our Mission
A school can sponsor our mission by allowing our after-school
program to teach children how to play chess at its
campus. The organization will provide the services
needed to teach and will never ask the school to do
the footwork that requires running the program. Our
program is hassle-free.
We are excited and enthusiastic to expand our program
and provide instruction to the children. This program
is community based with intentions to promote chess
as a learning device. The best part of the program
is that chess is naturally fun. Children will not
realize how hard they are working because they are
enjoying the benefits of chess as a game.
*Research proves that chess activities stimulate the learning process
causing children to use focus, critical thinking, and pattern
recognition skills. In studies like the 1977-1979 Chinese University study by Dr. Yee
Wang Fung, students showed a 15% improvement in math and science
test scores.

Each year ChessKidz continues to advance its mission. Through our
programs and special projects, we have helped change many lives. In
particular, the chess clubs have enjoyed great success in the past
year, expanding to new schools in the Reno / Sparks area. We are
currently teaching in the public school system as well as a handful
of private schools.
The goal of ChessKidz is to continue to make a
difference in children’s lives and empower them with skills to make
competent decisions. Kids have power! With the help of donations
from supporters like you, we will continue to see improvements in
the programs that we are able to provide to the children of the
public and private school systems.
