A new school year has begun and we’re excited to have new Coaches join our expanding team, and new partner schools investing in play. In 2014-2015, Playworks will serve 12,000 kids daily in 24 low income schools across the Portland metro area and Vancouver, Washington. Click here to meet all our Coaches, and click here to see the list of partner schools.
We'd like to introduce you to recess rockstar Junior Coach Desmond. Desmond is a 5th grader at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt School. He loves to play 3-line basketball and 4-square at recess with his peers and younger brother. As a Junior Coach he helps Coach Ruby on the playground to lead games, encourage others, and give out high-fives and positive support. He's leaning to be a leader and helping to make his playground and school more inclusive and fun. Your support helps to train 360 amazing junior coaches to be leaders and peer mentors at each of our partner schools. Thank you!
