Playworks Louisiana Playworks’ vision is that one day, every child in America will have access to safe, healthy play every day.

Research shows that play is essential to children's healthy physical, cognitive, and social development, an invaluable school improvement tool, and important part of ensuring positive interaction within diverse communities. Quality recess and playtime also helps children return to the classroom more focused and ready to learn. Playworks is the only nonprofit organization in the country to send trained, full-time program coordinators, "coaches", to under-served urban public schools, where they transform recess and play into a positive experience that helps kids and teachers get the most out of every learning opportunity throughout the school day. The coaches become part of the school community, working full-time to provide organized play and physical activity through the five components of the Playworks program. They organize games and activities during recess, provide individual class game times and develop junior coaches through a leadership development program during school hours. Outside of the school day, our coaches also run tutoring and physical activity programs as well as several developmental sports leagues.
