"Playworks has a huge impact on our school culture and environment! The Junior Coach program has been a great way for my students to see other students as role models and aspire to become them one day. I think it has also encouraged physical activity, fun and teamwork across all grade-levels."K-2 Teacher
This year we have expanded the number of schools and students that we serve in the greater Portland Metro area to 36 schools and more than 16,500 students! We couldn't have grown without your continued support of our programming. Thank you!
