We create a place for every kid on the playground-a place where every kid belongs, has fun, and is part of the game. Playworks is the only non-profit nationally that places full-time, trained coaches at elementary schools to increase physical activity, reduce chaos on the playground, teach social emotional learning through play, and give kids a safe and inclusive place to play so they can go back into the classroom ready to learn. Through a recent study with Stanford University, we are finding that our teachers regained 24 hours of teaching time at Playworks schools, a 43% reduction in bullying incidents and a dramatic increase in physical activity on the playgrounds.
Special Thanks to our hosts: SF Parks and Recreation!
