InterPlay in Education has officially leapt from the edges into the center! This past summer, 15 diverse, wise, and passionate educators, leaders, and change-makers gathered for our first-ever InterPlay in Education Retreat. With open hearts, creative play, and deep listening, they dreamed big—and now we’re ready to bring those dreams to life.

Out of that gathering, three bold initiatives have emerged to expand InterPlay’s reach in educational settings:

InterPlayConnect: A Community Building Project

This 3-hour workshop model will bring InterPlay’s power of story, movement, and play into schools and educational communities to build trust, foster connection, and promote creative problem-solving.
InterPlay Research Project

We’re identifying university partners and preparing an NEA research grant proposal to gather meaningful data on the impact of InterPlay on students and educators.

Plus, we’re exploring a new Educator Certification Pathway—a condensed, cost-effective training program tailored for teachers and school leaders. This would serve as a gateway into full InterPlay Leadership training and expand our presence in educational systems.

Your support is vital.
Your gift helps us launch these initiatives, develop curriculum, support our collaborators, and bring InterPlay’s transformative practices into classrooms, clubs, and campuses around the country.

Join us in co-creating an embodied, inclusive, and playful future for education.
Donate today—or by Give InterPlay Day, July 2025—to make it possible.
