Print Materials Design
Project details
What we need
- Designs for one piece of marketing or communications collateral (e.g., fact sheet, case study, event invitations)
- Templates with accurate, print-ready specifications
- Note: Please post an additional project if more than one piece of collateral is needed
Additional details
We would love for our volunteer to be local so we can meet in person and explain our needs. Not required, but it will be fun!
What we have in place
- We currently have communication guidelines and copy, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have logo and photos, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,002 , allowing us to serve 15000 children annually.
Playworks needs to create effective print collateral in order to effectively communicate with our stakeholders. The power of play is an incredible visual and we need support with design work to ensure the community understands our impact. Your design skills will help increase awareness about Playworks and impress current and future donors. This project will create various one pagers about our program that we can give to funders, school partners and potential staff.
Project plan
Our mission
To improve the health and well-being of children, and enhance their education, by increasing opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play.
What we do
In 1995, Playworks Founder Jill Vialet got an earful from a principal she was visiting in Oakland, California. Rather than recess being a happy, playful time for the kids, the principal lamented that it had become the most chaotic period of the school day, with kids getting hurt, getting into trouble and getting left out. In that moment Jill saw an opportunity to change recess, to make it a positive and productive time for all kids. In 1996, Jill founded Playworks.
Principals tell us that nearly all discipline-related problems in school occur during lunch and recess. Instead of going back to class energized and ready to learn, the kids return to class upset and unable to focus.
We can change this. Recess should be fun and energetic and safe and inclusive for everyone. Isn't that what we want for all kids in elementary school today?
When recess becomes a healthy, integral part of the school day, kids carry that positive experience with them beyond the playground.
We are coaches, kids, teachers, parents and supporters who believe in the power of play to make kids, schools and communities stronger. On our playgrounds, everyone plays, everyone belongs, everyone contributes to the game. Coaches encourage kids to bring out the best in themselves and each other, and kids learn the value of fair play, compassion and respect.
