During the 2013-2014 school year, Playworks is partnering with five different state AmeriCorps commissions to bring powerful opportunities for play to schools and communities. We partner with Serve DC, PennSERVE, U Serve Utah, North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service, and CaliforniaVolunteers (in both our Northern and Southern California regions). As a part of Playworks AmeriCorps Week, members from each of our six different Playworks regions submitted videos of cheers or songs celebrating service in their community. The submissions were then judged by members of our national program team and a first prize winner and runner up were awarded.
The runner up goes to… Playworks in Philadelphia:
And first prize goes to Playworks in Southern California for their very own rendition of Pharrell Williams' Happy:
