At Playworks, we believe in the power of play to bring out the best in every kid.  Playworks is the only nonprofit organization in the country maximizing recess for learning. Playworks stops chaos on school playgrounds, shifts kids' behavior into a positive direction, and accelerates learning in the classroom. The organization partners with low-income schools to provide coaches who work with students before, between and after the bells.  Playworks' goal is to create an educational and social environment where students learn how to interact with their peers in appropriate and respectful ways, practice safe and healthy behaviors, take on meaningful leadership roles on the playground and in the classroom, and make positive contributions to the broader school community. www.playworks.org/san-francisco
