Active Schools
The Active Schools national collaborative helps schools create Active School environments that provide America’s children with at least 60 minutes of physical activity before, during and after the school day. There is power in having the nation’s best and brightest come together to solve a problem. That’s why Active Schools operates on the collective impact framework – a model where like-minded organizations team up and combine resources to enact meaningful, sustainable change. Together, we strive to bring the positive benefits of physical education and physical activity to every child across the country because we know and believe that Active Kids Do Better.
PlayCore supports schools enrolled in the Active Schools program. To learn more about this partnership, Contact Us.
