Young Kings & Queens Are Our Future

By stepping in early in to the lives of young people we use chess and other community activities to model peace, strength, and responsibility.  

As Seen On

Working Everyday To Strengthen Our Community

Working with Youths of all ages

Chess improves cognitive skills concentration, problem solving, decision making and more. Our youth gain confidence and self-worth.

Community Leaders

A great benefit of the Young Kings and Queens Chess club is the inclusion of community leaders in the events we host. There is never a lack of inspirational men and women to build relationships with our youth.

Working With Our Seniors

We care about all parts of our community. What speaks more to our community than the seniors who paved the way for us? Chess provides the same benefits for them as it does for our young people.

Anti Violence Initiatives

We aim to educate our young kings and queens about the dangers of violence in our community. Keeping them away from that life by providing a solid outlet. And we are always supported by those working to keep us safe.

What People Are Saying

PRICELESS!

February 8, 2025

Their program is one of a kind! Their just not a chess program, they are angels for those in the community. Me, my husband and sister met Mr. Romeo over 10 years ago on the park bench teaching kids chess. We came to play tennis and basketball in the park. My husband was curious and seen about fifteen kids surrounding one man. He wanted to know what was happening, so he went over there and seen them playing chess. He was amazed that one person got the attention of all those kids at once and how attentive they was. As he was talking my husband called our two sons and daughter over and our niece. The rest was history. We’ve been attending his free events since then. His staff his a mirror image of himself, it shows that he’s a good mentor and role model. Two of our children have graduated from college and the other is graduating from H.S. this year. His program a part getting them there. What never did understand is that a program like his never get any financial from the politicians in his area. When ask, he just said I can’t expect them to do what’s not in their heart, and he just left it like that, and I said no more.
