Billion Youth Chess Club International

Introduction: For the last 26 years, I have been teaching youth chess in the school district throughout Pennsylvania, and now that I live in Western California, I see a greater opportunity in teaching young people in the school districts as well as in private homes. With the Million Youth Chess Club, I helped organize that nonprofit corporation and built it. Studies show that teaching chess to young people really changes thinking patterns. Young people are taught the basics about what you're studying in school. That's true, but where does the thinking and the ability of making the right decisions come in? That's where chess plays a very important part. I really hope there's someone out there that understands my dream of helping kids make the right decisions, now that kids are making decisions. Spend 25 years of life in prison; that's all in the eyes of the next generation that could possibly be before them. Let's stop this, and help each other help our next generation. Thank you for listening.
