The Gift of Chess launches Bilingual Chess Programs in NYC

Written By Russ Makofsky

Today we launched our bilingual chess classes in NYC, helping the migrant students coming from the southern border (mostly Venezuela) integrate into their new schools & communities.

Our bilingual chess programs will run weekly, culminating in a year end chess competition. In addition to the lessons, each student also received their very own chess set! We plan on growing this program to include 5 schools, teaching hundreds of students over the coming weeks.
