Freedom Chess Academy

I always love to promote volunteer projects ... check out this site for the Alabama-based "Freedom Chess Academy"

Their mission as stated: "Freedom Chess Academy is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote chess training and play in Tuscaloosa and western Alabama. We offer a variety of free events for chess players of all levels. Classes are held at the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Alabama, Tuscaloosa Public Library, FOCUS on Senior Citizens, the Tuscaloosa Salvation Army Shelter and, through a partnership with the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa Magnet Middle School. (For class dates/times, see the class schedule below.) Chess instructors use the Scholastic Chess Series curriculum, which allows students to learn quickly while having fun. Many of our students compete in -- and win -- chess tournaments."
