Transforming the lives of Newark Youth through Chess and Mentorship
We use chess as the bonding activity to build a lasting relationship between a mentor and a mentee, and we use chess to teach children how to make better decisions. Our goal is to teach every child in Newark how to play chess and to make sure that every child has a mentor.
