We partner with transitional housing and emergency shelters across the city, where we create safe and fun play spaces at the shelters where the children live. Weekly volunteers dedicate their time, serving as playmates and mentors to children from 6 months to 12 years old. Learn more.
News & Notes
Playtime has evolved with the changing landscape of homelessness in our effort to meet the needs of families living in shelter across Washington, D.C. And this month is no exception.
Join us for our #DidUPlay2day spring campaign to help Playtime bring play to more children living in shelters across the District.
When Playtime advocates for “service-rich environments” inside shelter settings, we mean including services for children whose needs deserve prioritization.
