play for all: A New Movement for Play in America

For more than 25 years, Alliance for Childhood has worked to protect something essential to childhood: play. Now, we’re building on our legacy to launch Play for All — a national movement to make play a priority for every child.

Our mission is to unite the nation to make play possible — we’re bringing together organizations, caregivers, playworkers, educators, health professionals, community leaders, advocates, and changemakers to create a future where play is valued, protected, and prioritized throughout childhood.

A child's future is today.

Become a Founding Member of Play for All. Help launch this movement and build the people, places, policies, and partnerships children need to thrive.

“Alone, there isn’t much we can do, but if we stand together, there’s an immense amount ... we can do!”

— Joan Almon, Co-founder of Alliance for Childhood
