About Us
Supporting students as they develop the necessary skills for the classroom and life — through chess
Our Schools and Community
Chess for Success has programs in 11 counties and 25 school districts in the Oregon and SW Washington area - and we’re growing every year!
Our journey to empower students through chess is a collective effort, and it wouldn't be possible without the invaluable contributions of our community partners. Together, we strive to create a brighter future for our children, one move at a time.

Our organization is built upon a dedicated core team of staff, a network of incredibly talented coaches, and the guidance of our wonderful board of directors. Together, we form a dynamic and passionate community committed to our mission and the positive impact we aim to make.
