Our mission and vision:
Our mission is to build a chess community that welcomes all people. We create opportunities to grow and connect while developing 21st-century skills.
The Hoosier Chess Academy seeks to establish after-school chess clubs in at least two of a district’s K-12 schools in cities like Bloomington, Ellettsville, Martinsville, Bedford, Spencer, and Columbus; host at least ten annual tournaments for children and adults; offer chess camps at affordable price ranges spanning the entire summer; offer semi-monthly instructional sessions on chess fundamentals, tactics, strategy, and coaching training; and partner with organizations such as police and fire departments, shelters, and assisted living centers to promote the joys of chess to a wide audience.
