Girls Chess Initiative

Empowering young women in chess through mentorship, events, and community support.

Chess has historically been a male-dominated field. The Girls Chess Initiative aims to break down barriers and create a supportive environment where girls can thrive. By providing resources, mentorship, and opportunities to compete, we empower young women to reach their full potential in chess and beyond.
