KaBOOM! Brings WE Play! to Los Angeles!

KaBOOM! is bringing our Workshop Entirely on Play (WE Play!) to Los Angeles, CA on February 28, 2006.  WE Play! is an informative and fun-filled one-day training workshop on how to lead a successful community-build playspace project, which can result in a great place to play and a stronger community! 

KaBOOM! has packaged a decade of hands-on community-build leadership experience into WE Play!.  Workshop topics will include The Importance of Play; The KaBOOM! Community-Build Roadmap; Selecting a Playspace Site, Equipment and Safety Surfacing; and Effective FUNdraising Strategies.  Attendees of WE Play! also have the opportunity to learn from and network with other project leaders and get inspired to change the face of play in their community. 

This is what past WE Play! participants have said about the training:

  •  “GREAT workshop –very practical.”
  •  “The networking is the best part.  It gives a country-wide support system!”
  •  “Very motivating to get and keep motivated through all (project) steps.”
  • “I have a better feel for the project overall.  I’ve been given some clarity on how things work.”
  • “High energy!”

The February 28th KaBOOM! WE Play! will take place at the Four Points Sheraton at Los Angeles International Airport.  Registration for WE Play! is free, but spots are limited and advanced registration is required by February 21st.  So, don’t delay –register today!  And of course, if you know of someone who wants to plan a community-build playspace project, please help us reach them by sharing this information.
