An essential part of the mission of the G.R.C.C. is to support the growth of scholastic chess in the Grand Rapids and Greater Grand Rapids area. Below you will see a listing of our initiatives. If you are interested in supporting G.R.C.C. in growing scholastic chess please contact Henry Rankin at hmrankin@chartermi.net.
GRCC Scholastic Summer Academy
We are proud to announce the GRCC 2021 Summer Academy! It will be an 8-10 week scholastic academy program designed for students 2nd – 12th grade. We will schedule this on Saturdays to fit the schedules of most families. The GRCC will staff 1 lead teacher and we will need several volunteer facilitators. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to us at: grandrapidschesscenter@gmail.com
If you are a parent of a student that loves chess get ready for a great academy next summer which will feature teaching, competitive play, and a summer scholastic tournament to cap it all off. More details to come!
After-School Chess Clubs
If you are interested in getting an after-school program going at your school, we can equip you and a team of volunteers to get it going. Contact us at grandrapidschesscenter@gmail.com to plan for next year!
