Prison Chess Outreach

Chess gives inmates an opportunity to channel their time and energy into something very positive in what can be a challenging and often negative environment. Through chess they learn concentration, mental problem-solving, taking responsibility for decisions, social interaction skills, and more.

Volunteers are welcome to play in rated matches which are scheduled from time to time in various facilities, or to assist with various other programs and outreach efforts. For more information on how you can participate, please contact David Cannon, timetraveler1062@gmail.com or 740-296-9924.
