Playworks Newark and Brick City SERVES Partner Together

  1. Updates

Playworks Newark took part in the launch of Brick City SERVES (Newark's Comprehensive Service Plan).  Mayors Booker and Bloomberg were welcomed to Broadway Elementary School while several Playworks Broadway junior coaches, teachers, and volunteers played a variety of recess games to showcase the Playworks program. Playworks Newark is working closely with Brick City SERVES on a new initiative called Lets Move! “Play Nights”. Together with Brick City SERVES, Playworks Newark hopes to build on the spirit of service that already exists in Newark by expanding volunteers involved in play. The goal is to serve 4,000 students and engage 200 volunteers during and after-school time.
