Play At The Core amplifies the impact of a broad range of organizations, that serve youth from early childhood through adolescence, by using play to drive critical workforce repair and recovery efforts. In this moment, youth-serving professionals are facing the greatest challenges of their professional lives. Our work with partners inspires healing from within and cultivates change by aligning the power of their programming for children with the systems of support available to the human services workforce. We use play to build relationships, communicate ideas, and explore challenges – helping professionals (and the kids they work with) to thrive.
