9 Queens is dedicated to empowering individuals and communities through chess by making the game fun, exciting, and accessible.
Chess is a great thing, it helps me emotionally, mentally and physically. I have made lifelong friends in the game of chess. I have learned that chess does not care if you are black, white or Mexican, poor, rich or middle class. It matters that you love the game.
In addition to providing workshops, trainings and motivational talks, 9 Queens can also work with your organization to create an individualized program. If you are interested in collaborating with us, please email Jean Hoffman or Jennifer Shahade.
