💃🏻 Calling All Women Chess Coaches & Strong Female Players!
Help us expand Girls Club Rooms at Minnesota chess events! The Midwest Chess Girls Group is looking for volunteers to mentor in a welcoming space designed just for girls. These supportive rooms let girls relax between rounds, play casual games, get coaching and game analysis, and connect with other female players. Interested? Email msca.board@gmail.com
