Power of Pawns Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to empowering youth and communities through the game of chess. The charity believes that the strategic and analytical skills learned on the chessboard translate directly into life skills such as problem-solving, patience, critical thinking, and decision-making.

Programs and Activities:

• Offers free chess lessons to children, seniors, and underprivileged communities led by school students.

• Hosts tournaments and educational events to promote intellectual development and sportsmanship.

• Partners with schools, community centers, and global organizations to make chess accessible as a tool for academic and personal growth.

• Runs chapter-based programs allowing local communities to establish their own Power of Pawns chapters with support and training from the national organization.

Community Impact:
Power of Pawns aims to nurture strategic thinking and confidence in young minds while building stronger, more connected communities. Its outreach extends beyond gameplay — fostering leadership, resilience, and lifelong learning.
