Playing For Others

Playing For Others Through service, teens focus on “How will I give of that?” They become young philanthropists – giving of their time, talent, and treasure.

Playing for Others (PFO) is a leadership training program that combines personal development, service, and the arts to foster leaders who are confident, compassionate and creative. “Playing for Others (PFO) provides a space for teens to explore and answer the questions, “Who Am I?” and “How will I give of that?” through programming in Personal Development, Service, and the Arts. It offers three key components:

Personal development teens focus on “Who Am I?” They recognize who they are being in each moment, increase their self-awareness, and learn to shift their perspective. In the arts, they experience self-expression, embracing creativity, and using that passion to serve. Through our core values – Attitude of Gratitude, Acceptance, Accountability, and Action – teens learn to become effective leaders of self and others. We are cultivating the next generation of leaders, philanthropists, and compassionate human beings.

You deserve joy. Give yourself permission to find it.

Sometimes, joy is found in the simplest things. Take a moment to practice gratitude. Make your favorite snack. Listen to your favorite song. Sit outside for a few minutes. Call someone who makes you smile. Do something, even something small, that makes YOU happy.

Joy doesn’t always have to come from a big moment. Sometimes, it’s tucked inside the little things we often overlook.

Today, give yourself permission to choose a little joy.
