Playworks Pacific Northwest: Brightening the Future for Youth of the Pacific Northwest

Playworks Pacific Northwest is a nonprofit organization in Portland that focuses on moving the community forward. The difference between Playworks Northwest and other organizations is that they focus on the development of children by building children's social and emotional skills in the area and allowing children to develop by becoming leaders among themselves .

The organization's commitment to the development of children is reflected in part of its mission, which is "to improve the health and well-being of children by increasing opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play," the website reads.

Playworks is effective, too. 93% of staff, teachers, and principals have seen a decrease in the disruptive nature of students after they participate in Playworks Pacific Northwest.
