You Can Play believes in the importance of being a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization that enables our board, staff, volunteers and participants to thrive. We are committed to building an exceptional team that reflects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our community and partners. We also strive to ensure an inclusive community by creating a space for meaningful dialogue about issues of race and identity for our staff and community.
