Make a Chess Move (MACM) is a Denver-based organization that aims to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline by developing tenacious learners, compassionate leaders, and ethically-driven critical thinkers through the game of chess. Their research-based curriculum targets positive youth protective factors and the reduction of youth risk factors, with a focus on youth aged 8-26 and the development of staff and young leaders from program participants.
MACM's grassroots approach to positive social change challenges young people to make better decisions and become leaders in their community. With a strong emphasis on increasing school engagement, reducing youth crime, and fostering ethical critical thinking, MACM has served thousands of youth and partnered with numerous schools, libraries, recreation centers, and organizations in Northeast Denver.
