About Recess Cleveland
Recess Cleveland is a nonprofit program that creates safe spaces for play during our pop up “recess” events at schools, community gatherings, and private events in and around Northeast Ohio.
Our mission is to stimulate emotional growth, promote physical activity, and increase community participation by throwing pop up Recess events in schools, parks, and area’s lacking safe spaces to play. Collaborate with us at your next event in three easy steps….
PLAN
Use this form to check availability and estimate costs for your public or private event (we now also do birthday parties, corporate fundraisers, etc.).
PROMOTE
We’ll create a custom event page on our website and assist with collecting donations for the event (if needed). We’ll also help you get the word out on social media.
PLAY
On the day of the event, we’ll send trained Recess coordinators along with all the equipment needed to ensure all guests to have a great time.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
More and more kids are electing to play games on their electronic devices instead of taking advantage of opportunities to exercise, interacting with other kids, and enjoying the great outdoors. At the same time, 42% of schools no longer have recess. We must do something! As kids, games played at recess were a way to make new friends, learn discipline, exercise, improve your negotiating skills, strengthen your leadership skills, showcase your athletic talents, and resolve conflicts. Recess really matters! Help us if you can.
