Who we are
Project Play is part of the Alexandria Childhood Obesity
Action Network (ACOAN), working to improve play opportunities for children in
the City of Alexandria. We are your neighbors, early childhood and healthy
living activists, folks from the Parks and Recreation and Health Departments,
and other City offices and organizations who want to improve and enhance play
spaces for kids in Alexandria.
What
we’re doing
Project Play
is organizing a “Community at Play” series in the city of Alexandria to take
place in late summer through early fall. Exact times and locations are TBD. The goals
of the play series are as follows:
·
To bring families/ children who
have/care for young children outside to play in targeted neighborhoods
·
For families with young children
to have an outlet for physical activity near their home
·
To introduce creative ways to
enhance play for the benefit of the families and apartment owners
Why we need
you
If you like kids, families, being active, and
warm weather, you’re right for the job! We will need volunteers to attend our
play series to help lead games, pass out information, prepare snacks and more.
We will have a play series prep meeting on Thursday, July 16th at 5:30pm
at the Durant Center. Come to learn more about Project Play, sign up to
volunteer for “Community at Play,” share creative ideas, and get to know other fun
volunteers!
