National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to recognize and thank volunteers who lend their time, talent, voice, and support to causes they care about in their communities and around the world. Their stories serve to inspire others to take action and discover their collective power to unite in making a difference.

Read about Generation to Generation, Encore, and Points of Light, and get inspired by our volunteers' stories.


 Get involved and support the Playworks mission.
