Structure and Operations:

The forming organizations have a legacy of providing physical education, physical activity, child care, after-school programs, and youth sports to millions of children throughout the United States. The challenge today is to reach all kids, especially those who may not have the opportunity to live in a community with safe playgrounds or walking trails, or attend schools that require physical education. Through collaboration with more than 30 of the nation’s leading nonprofits, government agencies, academic organizations, and corporations, Partnership for Play Every Day works to reach as many youth as possible in communities across the country.
