Playtime Project is a nonprofit organization focused on providing play-based programs for children experiencing housing insecurity in Washington, DC and Prince George’s County, MD. Founded in 2003, the group leverages trained, screened volunteers to run weekly activities, offer healthy snacks, and create opportunities for play and learning at emergency shelters and transitional housing sites. Its work targets children facing housing instability, aiming to support their development and well-being through structured play in the context of shelter and transitional housing environments. Based in Washington, DC, the organization operates within the individual and family services sector, emphasizing community-based engagement and collaboration with local partners and institutions to extend its reach. In recent years, the organization expanded its program into Maryland, reflecting efforts to broaden access to its play programs beyond the District.
