AmeriCorps Week 2023

Join us in saying #AmeriThanks to our Playworks AmeriCorps Coaches!

During #AmeriCorpsWeek, we are sending out giant Whoosh Claps to our 56 AmeriCorps Members completing their service year with Playworks. These Coaches are working in schools in 7 regions, impacting 31,791 kids each and every day.

“For the kids and the future of our youth I’ll do this work 1000 times over again. Giving me the opportunity to make a change within the school community as a whole gives me the drive to keep going and make improvements.”  – Coach Q
