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.

Mr Romeo is consistent in his care for the community as a whole. I met him when I was on a walk with my grandson and he invited us to get a lesson free and provided snack. I later went to the library where to my delight he was hosting a multigenerational chess workshop, again free of charge with giveaways. Mr Romeo has a pulse on every going on in our community. He reaches out through text disseminating events info with respect and blessing and never fail to reach out in all season and all matters concerning the community from pantry, to christmas, to making sure things in our neighborhood are affordable , but also that we are treated with well deserved respect. Thank you Sir for your consistent commitment. This type of commitment would serve us well in the political arena if you should ever consider such a move. Our community would more than benefit. Continued blessing and strengh Sir
