Kids need play. And we need your help to make it happen.

Kids need to play. Playworks creates a place for every kid on the playground to feel included, be active, and build valuable social and emotional skills. We’re changing the culture of school through safe, fun, and healthy play at school every day. And we need you to make it happen. Please watch this video to see how you can help us make an impact in kids’ lives. And choose play.

Thank to 4sp Films who produced this video.
