Careers
Becoming a member of Playtime’s team is a great opportunity to influence the future of a small, growing nonprofit, and positively impact the lives of hundreds of children experiencing housing insecurity in DC and Prince George's County, Maryland each year. Playtime is an innovative organization dedicated to providing educational play activities, a therapeutic environment, opportunities to improve academically, access to community resources, and joy to children living in emergency and transitional housing programs.

The housing insecurity epidemic in DC and Prince George's County disproportionally affects the most marginalized people in society, including people of color, people from working class backgrounds, and those who identify as LGBTQ. We believe these communities must be centered in the work we do, and for this reason we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities.
If you don’t see an opening that’s right for you, consider other ways to get involved with Playtime.

The Family Support Manager will co-create and coordinate a caseload of priority families from the programs we serve. Outreach to community providers to vet and provide resources and referral support focused on children’s developmental needs is key. Needs assessments and referrals for parents will center on such domains as early childhood development, educational advocacy, disability services, and meeting concrete needs like furniture and food upon leaving shelter. With guidance from the Executive Director, the Family Support Manager will also supervise social work interns working individually and in groups with children during Playtime’s programs.
