Young Kings & Queens
Chess Club

Where your dreams become your reality! By channeling one fears, we teach you to become the Chess Player and not the Chess Piece. Our Mentoring, Enrichment and Readiness program enables you to understand your weaknesses so we can make it become your strength. There's never no progress without struggle. Struggles is temporary, sacrifices are like investments, give up the short term comfort for the long term run. Be patient and stay focus. The first step is always the Hardest!

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.

A safe & positive environment with respectful staff. My teen is improving her strategy as well as social skills. Mr. Romeo is a great instructor, is excellent with the kids, and motivates you to do better. Very positive atmosphere.

Overall the classes and environment is good. The teachers have a lot of patience with us. They made the me feel like I was part of the group from day one. The kids have lots of fun. The best part was that I got to play against Mr. Romeo.
