We believe in the power of play to bring out the best in every kid. As a friend and supporter of Playworks, here’s how you can help bring out the best in more than 700,000 kids across the country:

  • Help us find amazing staff. We are hiring playful, passionate people all across the country who are looking to make a difference in kids’ lives. Tell your friends about our openings and help us find more recess rock stars.

  • Spread the word about Playworks. We provide three different services to meet the needs of any school or organization.

  • Visit one of our school programs. We love to bring folks out to see Playworks in action. Contact the Playworks team in your local community to learn more.

  • Bring a friend with you on a site visit. Show more people how we’re creating a place for every kid on the playground and make your visit even more powerful. Bring a friend who you think will be interested in the work we do.

  • Volunteer to help at one of our local offices. You can volunteer to support a local project, our marketing efforts, and more. Find out more here.

  • Gather your coworkers for a day of volunteering and fun. Check out our Play Days.
