25 in 5 Initiative to End Playspace Inequity National
We are working to end playspace inequity in 25 playces over the next 5 years nationwide to address key child and community outcomes, closing the gap in access to great places to play in the communities, systems, and networks in which playspace inequity exists.
The future health and well-being of our kids is deeply connected to the places where they live, learn, and play. KABOOM! works to end playspace inequity so that every child can experience the same benefits and have access to the same opportunities to thrive that places to play provide. The 5-year, $250 million 25 in 5 Initiative focuses on building partnerships with communities, nonprofits, municipal agencies, and other organizations that provide a network of playspaces where kids live and learn. Together, we are identifying the specific playspace inequities and gaps in access to quality playspaces in local systems to ensure places to play are built where there is the greatest need. Our work to end playspace inequities in 25 playces will ultimately lead to a roadmap for scaling our efforts across the country.
