Nobody does team building like Playworks. Our corporate partners get to have fun with their teams while supporting kids in the community.

A few playful (and impactful) ways to partner with us:

➡️ Enter a corporate kickball tournament and compete with other companies while supporting schools in your community
➡️ Repaint a school's playground so kids come back to a school that's bright and welcoming
➡️ Spend an afternoon playing with students at recess
➡️ Bring recess to your own office and watch your team turn into fourth graders again

Your team gets a day they won’t stop talking about, and kids in your community get safe and healthy play.

If interested please connect with Director of Development Stacy Wilbur at [email protected]

Rather than a break from learning, play is how kids build the life skills that carry them beyond school, from problem-solving and teamwork to confidence and resilience.

Swipe to see why play deserves a spot in every child's day and how Playworks can help make that possible through trainings and workshops for schools, districts, and out-of-school time providers.

Junior Coaches are 4th and 5th grade students who step up to run games, teach the rules, resolve conflict, and make sure nobody feels left out at recess. They learn to lead a group, build community, and speak up for others. These are skills that follow them back into the classroom and beyond. Hige five to all of our Junior Coaches!

Becoming a champion starts with being a good teammate.

To become a good teammate, kids need play opportunities that foster conflict resolution, responsibility, and joy through supporting others.

At Playworks, we see fourth graders organizing games for their classmates.

We see second graders learning how to include others.

We see kindergarteners running with joy, encouraged by older students who just a year ago were learning the ropes themselves.

Each of these moments reinforces the idea that being a good teammate matters.

Confidence is built over time, through repetition, encouragement, and small wins.

And often, it’s found when someone believes in you enough to let you lead a game or call others over to play, even before you think you’re ready.

Every day, Playworkers (that’s what we call ourselves) create the conditions that help kids build confidence and see themselves as leaders.
