Give Kids the Childhood They Deserve

  1. Updates

When kids feel included and supported at recess, they’re more likely to thrive in school and in life.

Everyone deserves a chance to become the best possible version of themselves. Kids need us to make that possible for them.  Not all kids feel like they fit in at school. Feeling safe and like you belong is key to being able to learn and develop in healthy ways.

Playworks partners with elementary schools and people like you to ensure all kids get the chance to experience safe and healthy play. While having fun, kids build relationships, learn how to resolve conflicts, and solve challenges together.

By fostering opportunities for joy, teamwork, and a sense of belonging in schools, we are giving every child a chance to become the best possible version of themselves. And we know that we can’t reach every kid in our community without support from people like you, who believe every kid really matters.

Your donation will ensure kids are able to become their best selves.
