The Aspen Institute's Project Play

The Aspen Institute's Project Play is a nonprofit initiative that promotes youth sports and physical activity to ensure all children have access to quality, inclusive, and enjoyable play experiences. It focuses on creating environments that foster skill development, leadership, and lifelong healthy habits, while addressing barriers like cost, access, and social inequities. By encouraging collaboration among stakeholders—parents, coaches, educators, and policymakers—Project Play aims to build a future where every child can benefit from the physical, social, and mental advantages of sports and active play.
