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.

I’m a senior, I’m 76 years old. I met Mr. Romeo last year. He taught 18 seniors at the library chess. People say we are difficult to work with, but it seem easy for him. We always happy with smiles on our faces when we know he’s coming to teach all of us. He texts us to see how we are doing and let us know what events that are coming up that my benefit us. He has a warm & caring heart. I pray for him to have continue success because god blesses those who blesses others..
