Playworks Twin Cities is a youth development nonprofit serving nine local elementary schools with the mission to improve the health and well-being of children by increasing opportunities for physical activity and safe and meaningful play. As we enter our spring term, we are in need of volunteers interested in learning more about Playworks or working with elementary school students. All of our Spring opportunities will be held at Battle Creek Environmental Magnet School.
Playworks is thrilled to announce spring volunteer opportunities! To register for any opportunities, please email Caroline Church:cchurch@playworks.org.
