GoPlay makes space to play in a city where youth from households with lower incomes have fewer opportunities to participate in sports programs. Underserved families are often unaware of sports opportunities or unable to juggle them alongside multiple jobs. Using targeted outreach, GoPlay works one-on-one with parents to find and register their children for programs, arrange scholarships, and purchase equipment. This personalized approach makes a difference - every year, more than 100 youth participate in a wide variety of sports, including frisbee and trapeze. To secure more field space for young athletes, GoPlay also operates the RFK Stadium Campus, where it installed DC’s first disc golf course and made it free for families and players of all ages. At GoPlay, where diverse groups of young people play side-by-side, recreational space bridges communities.
