The Chess Bros

Empowering Youth, One Move at a Time

We are a student-run nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the game of chess as a way to build confidence, critical thinking, and community among young learners.
Founded in 2022 by two chess-enthusiast brothers in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, our mission is to make chess accessible and engaging for all. What began as local sessions in our hometown has grown into a network of free chess learning programs across New Jersey and even internationally. 
Through each program, we aim to empower young minds – 
 one move at a time!
