As the impacts of the pandemic continue, the NSCF has determined that it is not enough to just try “riding the storm out.” Our approach for this year is to focus on developing new curriculum for schools, homeschool, and community programs, and to create resources and tools that enhance chess education online and in the classroom.
You can help us emerge from this season of turbulence better positioned to make a lifelong impact on the children we serve.
