We prioritize forging partnerships with organizations operating within or serving historically marginalized and underfunded communities.

Our programs are tailored for students in grades 2 through 12. We strongly believe that young leaders in grades 8 through 12 should have access to resources that enrich their experiences beyond traditional classroom settings.

Through our high-caliber after school and summer programs and strategic initiatives, we provide invaluable opportunities for exploration, creativity, learning, and meaningful connections with supportive adults.

Recognizing that the majority of a child's time is spent outside the classroom, we understand the significance of learning and inspiration beyond formal education settings. Hence, we collaborate closely with top-tier afterschool programs and engaging summer experiences to ensure comprehensive support for our students.

“At The Heyward House, we are proud to partner with Queens Gambit and witness its positive impact on children through its chess program."

Seeing the development of young minds as they learn to strategize and think critically while enjoying the game of chess is heartwarming. The Queens Gambit chess program nurtures their cognitive abilities and fosters essential life skills such as patience, concentration, and sportsmanship. To see children flourish under the guidance of this wonderful initiative is why we chose to support Queens Gambit's dedication to empowering young individuals through the game of chess.

“Ever since I was young, Chess has always been a magical game for me.”

When I first moved to Pittsburgh, I discovered the Queens Gambit Chess Institute through a program they were doing at my local library. After that, I began to take classes through the Institute. I loved the lessons because it was evident that the instructors loved the game itself and teaching it. Now, I am a youth instructor because I wish to inspire more people to be involved with chess so they can feel that same magic that I felt when I first played.
