What Staff Are Saying

 "Being a Playworks coach has taught me how to be loyal and dedicated and never give up on anyone or anything. Just seeing the smiles on my students' faces when they see me walking through the halls or during recess lights up my world."

Do you love working with children and being active? Do you want to develop your career in a fun, playful environment where you can make a daily difference to the learning environment?  Playworks program coordinators, known as "coaches" work full time, on-site with the schools that we serve.

Playworks is proud to partner with AmeriCorps, providing opportunities for individuals to make a difference in their lives and the lives of those around them. Many of our first-year coaches are AmeriCorps members, applying their skills and ideals to helping others and serving their community by serving in schools.

Playworks coaches are full-time positions, responsible for planning and implementing play and physical activity programming during recess, in school and after school hours at a public school.

We are proud to be hiring full-time, benefitted positions with an August start date.  We will be accepting applications starting in May.
