King County Play Equity Coalition

A King County in which all youth are active through sports, play, and outdoor recreation.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The Play Equity Coalition is a collective impact approach anchored in cross sector community based collaboration. Through a common agenda, shared measurement, mutually reinforcing activities, continuous communication, with backbone organizational support, the Coalition aims to increase the rates of King County youth meeting the CDC’s Physical Activity Recommendations. Currently, only 19% of youth in King County are physically active an hour a day as the CDC recommends. Myriad barriers – such as rising costs of the pay to play model, transportation, program design, & policies – create inequities of access disproportionately impacting youth of color, immigrant youth, youth of low-income families, & youth with disabilities.The Coalition aims to address the systems change necessary so all youth have access to the mental, emotional, academic, and physical health benefits of physical activity.
