Every Child Deserves a Seat at The Board.

Across the Rio Grande Valley, talented children are missing opportunities because their schools and families cannot always afford chess programs.

We are changing that by providing access to chess education, life skills, and enrichment opportunities for every child—regardless of their background.

501 (c)(3) Nonprofit Serving Rio Grande Valley Schools Removing Financial Barriers

September 1st, at Topgolf in pharr

Enjoy 2 hours of golf, with unlimited soft-drinks and help support the neurodiverse children in the RGV. All proceeds go directly to bringing the Infinite Chess Project to the RGV!

Talent is Everywhere.

Opportunity is Not.

Many children have the ability to succeed—but not every child has access to the same opportunities.

For some schools, chess programs are difficult to fund because of costs associated with:

  • Equipment

  • Coaching

  • Curriculum

  • Tournament fees

  • Transportation

A child's zip code should never determine whether they get the chance to discover their potential.

We Remove Barriers That Keep Children from Playing.

More Than A Game.

Chess is not just about winning a match.

For many children, chess becomes the first place they:

  • Find confidence

  • Make friends

  • Discover they belong

  • Learn they are capable

MEET ROY:

Roy started playing chess a little over a year ago and quickly fell in love with the game. He practiced at school and at home, worked hard, and earned a spot on his school’s chess team. Despite being one of the top players in his district, he was not able to attend the State Championship because he was not part of the Gifted and Talented program.

Roy’s mom reached out to us, and we were able to help him attend State. After qualifying, we helped him make it to Nationals as well. Roy got the opportunity he earned — but it leaves us wondering: how many other children are out there missing their chance because of barriers they cannot control? At RGV Chess & Learning Center, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, compete, and discover what they are capable of.
