For over 35 years, the NSCF has worked with diverse populations using chess to empower students with independent study and problem-solving abilities, and to help educators use chess to attain positive learning outcomes in all core subject areas. The NSCF offers chess classes in the curriculum as well as in after-school, produces tournaments so aspiring players to put their knowledge to the test, works with underserved populations including students with learning and/or physical disabilities, and with at-risk youth and juvenile justice populations. The NSCF helps increase the use of chess in education by offering professional development and curriculum. The NSCF also offers community chess programs as a way to bring communities together regardless of age, language, income, or line of work.
