We recognize the difficulty that parents and kids are experiencing in the wake of COVID-19. Schools and businesses across the country are closed, and there are even restrictions on public parks and other fun venues for kids which makes it difficult for them to keep in touch with their peers or just run out a bit of that seemingly endless energy. Fun activities for kids seem to be in short supply. We have the solution to childhood boredom during the COVID-19 public health crisis.
We Have A Solution!
Boredom is now an epidemic, but we are offering a fun solution for kids while maintaining a stimulating and educational environment. This solution is also open to our current students during this troublesome time. The best part? There is no risk to health!
We Have Expanded Our Services
ChessKidz is a 501c3 nonprofit organization with two branches in the United States, one in Reno, Nevada, and one in Austin, Texas. For over 15 years, our organization has offered chess lessons to kids via the public school system using public school facilities in the communities we serve. However, we are excited to announce that we recently launched our services online! Yes, you read that right! We are bringing chess to kids nationwide through our brand new online program.
This new program will allow us to fulfill our mission to promote chess as a technique for lifelong learning and it will help us to help young people realize that:
When kids learn how to play chess, the benefits are almost limitless. It’s like pull-ups, but for your brain.
Benefits of Chess
Chess instruction prepares kids for STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and math), and it increases reading scores.
Chess is an ancient and friendly game that teaches peaceful conflict resolution, critical thinking, and increases spatial awareness among many other proven benefits. Because of this, we made our services more accessible to kids across the country.
We offer real-time lessons with a live coach and use a child-safe platform that allows the class to play against each other online while receiving expert guidance.
