Review for Playworks, San Francisco, CA, USA
Playworks is a national non-profit that provides safe, healthy and inclusive play at recess at low income schools in 23 cities across the country. Seeing the program in action is amazing and the impact it has on the children is immeasurable. I have witnessed the program in action on several occasions and have also attended some of their after school activities. The children are immediately immersed in a series of games and activities that promote teamwork, problem solving and conflict resolution. The way the "coaches" approach the games and relate to the children keeps everyone in a fun atmosphere. Very well run program.
