When a rising chess student decided to bring chess to his neighborhood and peers, the Shenandoah Valley Chess Club and Loudoun County community rallied in support.
We are thrilled to hear about the successful launch of The Pawn Project (K–12 Youth Chess)!
This nonprofit initiative is bringing FREE chess to K–12 students in Loudoun County, VA. Monthly meetups feature OTB peer-level games, individualized coaching at each player’s level, and support between meetups help youth strengthen focus, strategy, and problem-solving skills both on and off the board.
Whether just learning the moves or already competing, the mission is to grow “pawns into powerhouses” while building confidence, community, and a love for the game.
