The mission of the Homeless Children’s Playtime Project is to
nurture healthy child development and reduce the effects of trauma
among children living in temporary housing programs in Washington, D.C.
We seek to create a city that provides every opportunity for children in
families experiencing homelessness to succeed by ensuring consistent
opportunities to play and learn, offering support services for families,
and advocating for affordable housing and safe shelter.
We have more than 100 volunteers who dedicate their time every
week to support positive emotional development for one of the most
vulnerable populations in the District. Our trauma-informed programs
seek to restore normalcy by providing opportunities for children to
learn and heal through play, and empowering them to make choices,
express themselves, relate to others, and find support.
VOLUNTEERS GIVE THE GIFT OF PLAY
Our dedicated volunteers make a weekly commitment to running
one of our 18 weekly programs in four temporary housing facilities.
We could not provide Playtime without them.
Additional volunteer opportunities include coordinating in-kind
donation drives, cleaning our playrooms, and sharing special
skills and talents with our youth.
