Capitol Hill Children's Chess Club (for Grades 2-6) 2023-2024

For all neighborhood students in grades 2 - 6 interested in learning and playing chess All levels welcome! Students are divided into groups by ability. Absolute beginners are welcome, as are tournament players and everyone in between. One Semester: $120 Full Year (both Fall & Spring semesters): $220 [$20 Discount] (Registration includes one club T-shirt per year and snacks)

Players are grouped by ability, not age. We teach the rules to beginners and strategy to experienced players. Chess teaches responsibility, discipline, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Chess players learn how to make the most of their opportunities and how to turn a bad situation to their advantage. They learn not to make excuses for their setbacks, and to win and lose graciously. CH3C meets nearly every Wednesday at 700 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, Washington, DC 20003. Students are expected to attend each week, if possible, as lessons for each group build from the previous lessons. Students should arrive by 3:45pm and plan to stay at chess club until at least 5:00pm (CH3C runs from 3:30-5:30pm ET). Only students in grades 2 - 6 may join CH3C. We welcome parent volunteers to help with maintaining decorum, dismissal, and distributing snacks; but only our instructor teaches chess.

Chess Club is offered by the nonprofit U.S. Chess Center (https://chessctr.org), a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, with the support of Barracks Row Main Street. All instructors are certified chess coaches.

For more information, contact the U.S. Chess Center at admin@chessctr.org | 202-857-4922.


Wednesdays, 3:30 - 5:30 p.m.

Fall Semester: September 20, 2023 - January 31, 2024

Detailed and practical, this guide explains concrete rebar in a way that feels approachable without oversimplifying. The step by step clarity is especially useful for readers new to the subject. I recently came across a construction related explanation on https://hurenberlin.com that offered a similar level of clarity, and this article fits right in with that quality. Great شيخ روحاني resource. explanation feels practical for everyday rauhane users. I checked recommended tools on https://www.eljnoub.com

Using technology to increase access to youth mental health support may offer a practical way for young people to reach guidance, safe-spaces, and early help without feeling overwhelmed by traditional systems. Digital platforms, helplines, and apps could give them a chance to seek support privately, connect with trained listeners-orexplore resources that might ease their emotional load. This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.

There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you…
