ABOUT PLAYWORKS

We believe in the power of play to bring out the best in every kid. We are changing the school climate by leveraging the power of safe, fun, and healthy play at school every day. We create a place for every kid on the playground to feel included, be active, and build valuable social and emotional skills. We partner with schools, districts, and after-school programs to provide a service or mix of services including on-site coaches, professional training for school staff who support recess, and consultative partnerships.

Playworks Coaches are AmeriCorps members who are positioned in Adams County School District 14 and Denver Public School District areas to be a champion of play. As an AmeriCorps member you will join with other Colorado Coaches, nearly 300,000 other members nationwide, and over one million alumni nationally who have committed their time and talents to strengthen communities. Partnership organizations, like Playworks, engage with AmeriCorps members to improve the communities they serve.

How you'll make an impact:

  • Create a safe and inclusive recess on the playground by being a caring role model to ensure that every kid plays every day.
  • Implement a youth leadership program by providing student leadership opportunities at recess and facilitating trainings for a cohort of students before or after school.
  • Lead individual classes to build youth leadership skills, promote cooperation, and introduce new games that kids can play on the playground, including the rules and boundaries.
  • Enlist and coach students in interscholastic/developmental sports leagues that might include basketball, volleyball, or soccer.
  • Design and implement a community event during the year that engages students' families at the school site.
  • Recruit and coordinate volunteers who will join you at recess to strengthen school climate.
