After a successful year of leadership training, Playworks\u2019 Junior Coaches were honored and celebrated in a day-long event filled with food, fun and games at Longfellow Elementary School. Longfellow\u2019s playground was quickly transformed into a whirlwind of excitement as more than 200 junior coaches celebrated the culmination of their training.\u00a0 The flow of the day was guided by a Passport to Play \u2013 a commemorative booklet showcasing the different \u201cstamps\u201d children received as they rotated through various stations.\u00a0 Games of four square, human bingo, toxic waste dump and more were played to build upon the Junior Coach curriculum of leadership, cooperation, respect, and healthy community. Assisting with the event was a team of more than 50 caring volunteers from Salesforce.com. This group of volunteers provided the Junior Coaches with examples of positive role models, attesting to the importance of demonstrating leadership within one\u2019s school, community and personal life. By equipping children with the skills to mediate conflict resolution and the ability to be positive, engaging role models within their communities, our junior coach program is a successful tool to combat bullying while encouraging positive behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
