Project Play serves underprivileged and underserved communities. We focus on bridging the gap between community, each other and ourselves in an effort to unify and educate all races and ethnic backgrounds to be aware and awakened within their lives. Equally Yoked Foundation’s commitment is to empower all children through books, toys, and art, and the play associated with books, toys and art. Research has shown that in doing this it can help children make meaning out of their interactions with people (and questions about people) both those who mirror their identities and those who are different from them. Children ages 4 through 20 years old can enroll in Project Play and with a guided curriculum these students are presented with donated black and diverse dolls, toys that inspire careers, as well as books, and art projects that ignite STEAM-based learning.

Project Play hosts fun mini events for children in order to build self-esteem and educate.

It will always be a passion and the goal of Project Play to serve within the communities foster care system partnering with them for a healthy and successful transition.

Our passion is to continue to create spaces that educate and unify all people.

When your son or daughter commits to being a member of Project Play they become a Dream Team Award Recipient. What does that mean? That means that your child has made a life commitment to build and not burn bridges. To respect and appreciate everyone as equally but independently made.

Project Play celebrates black owned businesses as well as businesses that support the black community by showcasing their creativity and their willingness to donate in an effort to change historical data that reflects negative stereotypes and narratives. We are committed to the long term goal of all children having a unique approach, appreciation and respect for black culture. We are confident with consistency, hard work, diligence and dedication we will create a future where the children of today become the parents of tomorrow, building a strong foundation for the next generation and for generations to come. Celebrating and contributing to the victories black people continue to strive for in abolishing systemic racism.

In the Kansas City Metro area alone 1 in 4 children of color are living in poverty. Holiday’s and birthday’s are an especially difficult time for these children and their parents/caregivers. Project Play is committed to partnering with organizations in order to create special moments for these children.
