At Playworks, we value this dialogue and celebrate the stories of partners and supporters who are joining the play movement, as one partner shared:
 
The first year we had Playworks at our school…we didn’t have our playground installed. Playworks was all we had for recess time. What I witnessed were kids being active, having fun and including others. . . I have seen the benefits of how PLAY does WORK when kids are taught problem solving skills and how to all play together.”
 
“We are honored to continue to be a part of this diverse community of top-rated organizations,” said Playworks Founder and CEO Jill Vialet. “As we continue to grow to fulfill our 2020 AIM, it is incredibly inspiring to see people sharing stories on GreatNonprofits of how our work touches the lives of our partners and supporters.”
 
We are humbled by this award and thank everyone whose support made this recognition possible.
