Mission
Playworks’ mission is to improve the health and well-being of children by increasing opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play.
Overview
Playworks helps kids stay active and build valuable social and emotional skills through play. The organization provides a continuum of services to provide support for schools, educators, and youth professionals to sustain Playworks strategies and programs over time so that partners are not reliant on intensive interventions long-term. Current services include direct services of Coach and TeamUp, and Playworks Pro. Playworks also provides consultation and professional development and facilitation services for school and youth-serving organizations.
