What is WE Play!?

The KaBOOM! Workshops Entirely on Play (WE Play!) are one-day regional trainings that provide everything you need to know on planning playspace projects. These fun-filled (can you say "kazoo"?), action-packed trainings use the KaBOOM! Community Build Road Map as a framework for building great places to play. A few of the topics we cover are playground safety, surfacing, design, fundraising, and Build Day preparation. Participants represent a variety of organizations, including YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, parks and recreation departments, schools, churches, and neighborhood associations. What’s more exciting? All participants have the opportunity to volunteer at a local playground build the next day. In other words, you’ll come ready to learn and leave ready to play (and plan)!

What is a webinar?

Short for web-based seminar, a webinar is an online presentation or seminar with interactive elements — the ability to give, receive and discuss information. In a webinar, each participant sits at his or her own computer and is connected to other participants on the Internet. The presenter speaks over a standard telephone line, pointing out information being presented on screen, and the audience can respond over their own telephones or over an online chat.

KaBOOM! holds two to three webinars each month that cover topics ranging from our community-build model to fundraising to innovative side projects. To participate, all you need are a phone and an Internet connection. The sessions generally last 45-60 minutes each. Check out the schedule of all upcoming webinars and archives.
