Cops & Kids Chess Initiative- Checkmating Violence in Chicago

The Chicago Public Schools, Renaissance Knights Chess Foundation, in partnership with the Chicago Police Department, developed the Cops & Kids Chess initiative as a year-round program for elementary (5-8) and high school students. The program reduces violence and promotes peace in the home, schools and communities by increasing positive relationships between youth and police officers while utilizing the game of chess as the vehicle for engagement. www.checkmateviolence.com
