Our Mission
The American Go Foundation is dedicated to promoting Go in the U.S. With our support, thousands of American children have learned Go in hundreds of schools, libraries and community centers across the country. We also provide scholarships and resources for youth who play Go, and we support Go in institutional settings such as prisons, and senior centers.
Our Passion
Discover Go, the ancient Asian board game that's as compelling today as it was 4,000 years ago. Go is simple enough for a child, yet has only recently been mastered by a supercomputer, it's a gateway for learning, and a model for parallel thinking. A game of Go is a wordless communication, the mutual construction and solution of a puzzle as easy or as complex as the players can make it.
Teaching Equipment
We have plenty of equipment to support the creation and growth of AGF programs!
9x9 gobans, magnetic teaching board, and our "Way to Go" booklets we have a lot to offer new and growing programs.
