Project Play connects the silos across the disjointed landscape of youth and school sports and develops systems-level solutions. Project Play was launched in 2013 by the Sports and Society Program of the Aspen Institute, the award-winning initiative convenes leaders, identifies gaps in access to quality sport activity, and mobilizes organizations for action. It drives progress through research, dialogue, resources, thought leadership and networking.

The Project Play Summit is the nation’s premier gathering of leaders building healthy children and communities through sports. On March 24-25, the Summit heads to the Bay Area — the first time the event has been hosted on the West Coast and a world-renowned center for innovation, just the kind of setting leaders from across sectors need to unlock the ideas and innovations to better serve youth. The theme this year is The Path to 63X30, or how we can help the nation get 63% of youth playing sports by the year 2030.
