Today, Playworks partners with schools, districts, and community-based organizations to provide a range of services, including Playworks Coach on-site coaches, Playworks Pro training for staff, Playworks TeamUp and Reboot consultative support, and our digital tool SparkPlay. Mission: Playworks’ mission is to improve the health and well-being of children by increasing opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play. Vision: Playworks’ vision is that one day every child in America will have access to safe, fun, healthy play every day.

The Wilderness Society (TWS) is the leading conservation organization working to protect America’s wild places and public lands for the health of local communities, wildlife, and climate. Founded in 1935, and now with more than one million members and supporters, The Wilderness Society has led the effort to permanently protect 111 million acres of wilderness and to ensure the sound management of America’s public lands. TWS is scaling up its work to address the existential threat of climate change, the loss of biodiversity, and deep inequities with access to the benefits of nature. TWS is working to achieve four major collective impact results: protecting 30 percent of America’s lands and waters by 2030, transitioning off of fossil fuel development on public lands to well-sited renewable energy, securing equitable access to public lands and their benefits, and building a critical mass of support for conservation of public lands. The Wilderness Society recognizes the historic and ongoing injustices perpetrated against Indigenous peoples, particularly those perpetrated by traditional conservation organizations and is committed to being more conscientious and inclusive in our work. This includes working directly with Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities to support conservation outcomes that respect the priorities and concerns of Tribes to ensure a more just and equitable future.
