Chess and Community

@ChessCommunity

Chess & Community is a non-profit organization founded in Athens, Georgia and dedicated to empowering youth through Chess, Robotics and Civic Engagement.

September is here, and that means it’s Team Building Month at Chess & Community! 💥 We’re welcoming a brand-new cohort of students into the family with challenges that push limits, spark creativity, and strengthen bonds. From escape rooms to mountain climbing (and more 👀)


Our students visited the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs for a behind-the-scenes look at taking ideas to the next level. Huge thanks to L’Angela Lee, CEO of Honeysucklemoon, for hosting and inspiring our future leaders. @honeysucklemoon @riceatlanta


Robots racing. Beats dropping. Chess pieces moving. ♟️🤖 In Atlanta, SYEP youth and the Atlanta Police Department came together for more than just a day of activities it was a day of trust-building, creativity, and strategy in motion. #YouthEmpowerment #SYEP #ChessAndCommunity


Mentorship. Strategy. Workforce readiness. Atlanta teens took bold steps this summer—through SYEP, peer leadership, and presenting to NASA. This is what youth empowerment looks like. 📖 Read + 🎧 Listen: chessandcommunity.org/post/when-a-ci… #SYEP #YouthLeadership #ChessAndCommunity
