Chess Haven Inc. is a global 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, with affiliates in all 50 U.S. states and over 20 countries..[1]
History[edit]
Twin brothers George Wang and Jake Wang founded Chess Haven in 2012.[2] Their work started at their middle school, Worthington Hooker School, where they founded a chess club.[3] Jake mentioned in an interview with the New Haven Independent: “From there, we wanted to share our passion with other kids.”[4] Since then, they have brought the board game to over 5,000 students globally.[5] In 2015, they incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization[6] with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)[7]
Impact[edit]
Chess Haven hosted the annual Connecticut State Grade Chess Championships at Hopkins School[8][9], drawing approximately 150 competitors from across the state.[10]
According to the New Haven Register, "as a way of expanding Chess Haven’s mission of reaching children with chess, the brothers developed a Common Core-Aligned Chess Curriculum they hope can be implemented into urban schools."[11] The curriculum integrates academic topics such as mathematics and chess in a classroom setting for elementary school students,[11] and is currently being used in 250 schools across 30 states.[2]
