KABOOM! 25 in 5 Initiative to End Playspace Inequity

KABOOM! is seeking municipal partners enthusiastic about creating equitable access to play spaces to join the 25 in 5 Initiative to End Playspace Inequity. Through this initiative, KABOOM! is working with municipal systems across the country including Baltimore City Schools, Atlanta Public Schools, and the San Francisco Park & Recreation Department to end playspace inequity at the scale it exists in their communities, ensuring that every child can experience the critical developmental benefits of play. Click here to learn more about the 25 in 5 Initiative.
