Join us as we celebrate 25 years of play!

Kids need to play more than ever. This year, Playworks is celebrating our 25th anniversary. That’s 25 years of inclusive games, positive language, high-fives, conflict resolution techniques, skill development, and more.

We need your support to continue bringing kids the #powerofplay for the next 25 years.

In the video above, Playworks Founder Jill Vialet shares what this milestone anniversary means to her, as well as updates on her latest project. Make a donation of $250 or more and you will receive a copy of her new book, Why Play Works!
