What is the Million Youth Chess Club?

The Million Youth Chess Club is a 501©(3) corporation dedicated to providing Berks County youth with the oppourtunity to further develop their talents as chess players through education and competition. We believe that by engaging youth in the game of chess they can enhance their critical and analytical thinking and reasoning skills to better prepare them to address the problems of their daily living situations.

Organizational History

The Million Youth Chess Club was founded in May, 1996. The club was established to provide Berks County youth a positive alternative to unhealthy risk-taking behaviors. Recognizing the necessity of healthy activities for our youth, the Million Youth Chess Club was founded by local grassroots activists.

Since our inception we have received strong support from many local, well-extablished organizations including:

Olivet's Boys and Girls Club

The Council on Chemical Abuse

The Community Prevention and Partnership Berks County

City of Reading Recreations Office

Reading School District

Latest Projects

New chess table in Heritage Park

Future Plans

he Million Youth Chess Club has already made inroads at several Berks County locations to establish future club sites. Included sites are:

11th & Pike Recreation Center

Berks Youth Detention Center

Opportunity House (2nd St Learning Center)

. . . just to name a few. As the Million Youth Chess Club looks to expand, we anticipate being able to serve at least 200 at-risk Berks County Youths.
