The Focus of Our Efforts
Charity Tournaments
In-Person tournaments where we partner with charities to raise money for different causes. We plan to have about six to eight annually. A majority portion of entry fees goes to the partner charity or cause.
Programs and Workshops
Programs taught by experienced Chess players who have USCF ratings and have competed in various tournaments. Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced classes are offered. Programs are free for students K-12 and take place during the summer. Workshops are done throughout the year.
Education Equity
In past years, we have seen a growing disparity in education across socio-economic classes. In 2023, SLCA is committed to fight education inequity through non-profit partnerships and workshops in underserved communities.
