Our coalition of over 140 organizations and individual leaders in the region are championing for racial equity, expanding free and low cost programs, and meeting young people where they are at by:

Collective action: we are running public education campaigns to strengthen our networks and understanding of the challenges and possibilities for youth sports in Washington state.
Empowering young people: We are gearing up to run our third annual Our Space in Sport conference, a full day designed to empower high school girls and non-binary athletes with the knowledge they need to thrive.
Youth Leadership: We also are running our fifth cohort of the Youth Action Team. The YAT researches barriers to play, designing systems change solutions, and shaping the future of youth engagement across King County.
Partnerships: We are running the second iteration of the Softball/Baseball Youth Equity Council in partnership with the Seattle Mariners Care Foundation to elevate youth voice and influence within professional sports, offering young leaders a platform to make decisions that benefit the community and make baseball and softball more equitable.
Advancing Research for Systems Change: We have begun deep community engagement for our new Play Equity Report - a follow-up on the 2019 State of Play, which highlighted deep inequities and barriers in access to play. This next report will highlight how conditions have shifted, and what it will take to ensure all communities can play, move, and thrive

In a shifting social and political climate, our commitment to movement, joy, and community is more important than ever. Our collective action is a form of resistance. Together we can:

Develop youth advocates to lead play equity and create solutions that impact them the most.
Create systems-level change to ensure communities thrive through accessible fields and facilities for high-quality recreation programming.
Advocate for sports and recreation as an important aspect of achieving youth well-being.

Pick the spark that speaks to you and help power it by becoming a recurring donor.
