Playground Grant Opportunity

KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit dedicated to empowering communities to build playgrounds and provide children with safe places to play, is hosting a free regional training workshop called WE Play! in Los Angeles on June 5th at the Marriott-LAX. While it is free, you must register for the event at www.kaboom.org/weplay.

WE Play! is an opportunity to learn both the logistics of organizing a community-built playspace and how to advocate play locally and nationally. KaBOOM!, will also be having a playground build the next day, June 6th, at the Los Cerritos YMCA. All are welcome to attend the playground build as well.

In addition, KaBOOM!, will be offering five $7,500 grants to help select attendees get their own community playground projects off the ground.
