We played Rugby, Ultimate Castle Ball, Capture the Cone, and Relay Supreme designed by one of our very own staff members. Through play, our team members from different offices connected with one another in an authentic way.<\/p>\n<p>The day ended with a dodgeball game of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/about\/careers\/americorps\/\">AmeriCorps members<\/a> against staff. Our AmeriCorps members are critical to our mission. Their year of service brings safe, healthy, and inviting play to our community. They are also great at dodgeball and were more successful than our staff team.<\/p>\n<p>As the school year comes to a close, we want to celebrate all our staff who bring our mission to life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3200\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaffFood-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaffFood-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaffFood-768x547.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaffFood-1024x729.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaffFood-842x600.jpg 842w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaffFood-468x333.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaffFood.jpg 1025w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3201\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaff-Retreat-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaff-Retreat-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaff-Retreat-768x547.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaff-Retreat-1024x729.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaff-Retreat-842x600.jpg 842w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaff-Retreat-468x333.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/AllStaff-Retreat.jpg 1025w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3210 size-full\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/northern-california\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/05\/Norcal_retreat_photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"178\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 90 Playworks Northern California staff members from Silicon Valley, the East Bay, and San Francisco gathered at Kennedy Park in Union City on May 3 for our Annual Staff [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3205,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"region":[],"class_list":["post-3160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-updates"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
