2018 Post-Summit Workshop Day

Hosted at The Aspen Institute’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., the Post-Summit Workshop was designed for community leaders who want to use Project Play’s knowledge about youth sports and collective impact to grow access to sports for youth at the local level. The 100+ attendees were the first to be introduced to Project Play's forthcoming digital Teamwork Toolkits. Workshop-style sessions led by the Aspen Institute and other experts guided attendees through exercises to measure the state of play in their communities and mobilize leaders around growing access to quality experiences for all kids, regardless of zip code or ability. The Teamwork Toolkit will be released publicly in early 2019.
