Playworks Los Angeles had a fantastic pre-service this year.  We on-boarded 22 Coaches and they are back in action at 21 schools.  You might ask, what is pre-service?  It is a week of intensive training consisting of workshops and presentations; focused on curriculum building for class game time, sharpening conflict and group management proficiencies, team building and lots of games!  At the end of the week our Coaches are ready to shift school climate by implementing their expertise through healthy play.
