Summer Chess Camps Warmly Welcome Our Team of Asylum Seeking Chess Players.

Written By Russ Makofsky

We have officially launched our summer chess programming and are thrilled to share that 15 of our asylum seeking students have join us for the 1st week.

This camp will run for 8 weeks Monday - Friday from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm this summer and be open to all of our asylum seeking students (free of charge) who have met over the past 6 months.

Please consider supporting our summer programming.

You can also check out several recent articles highlighting our asylum seeking chess outreach across the NYC public schools along with our Times Square Chess Center.
