Playworks in Portland, OR

Playworks will bring its trademark brand of safe and inclusive play to 14 Portland Public Schools when classes start up after the summer break. This fall marks Playworks' second year in the Pacific Northwest, where our team of trained, caring program coordinators, or "coaches," will lead recess and class game times, and very likely support a considerable amount of indoor recesses.
