The World Is Your PLAYGROUND
The PLAYGROUND’s mission is to create a safe environment to motivate and encourage the youth to live a healthy and active lifestyle. The organization focuses on increasing more opportunities fun physical activities for the youth, in hope to inspire an early love of sports and fitness that will serve as the foundation for a healthy way of living and building important relationships.
Let’s PLAY
Many schools currently does not have any form of structured Physical Education due budget cuts in the system. We work with school leaders and the community to ensure that students have access to a structurized physical education program that are motivational, inspiring and fun to get our students active and moving.
We all need a little PLAY in our lives
Studies show that consistent encouragement, listening and role modeling can have a profound positive impact on lives of our youth. We create a safe environment for the youth to actively seek enrichment, exposure, support and guidance through our mentoring and motivational fitness programs.
The Power of PLAY
Change and Impact happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure our youth have the necessary support to do their best in life. We host various family friendly community events to bring awareness of the importance of staying active and involved in the lives of our youth.
“The playground is where we all have formed friendships, shaped our love and built our strength.”
