PROJECT PLAY
“Project Play, the signature initiative of the Aspen Institute's Sports & Society Program, develops, applies and shares knowledge that builds healthy communities through sports.
We identify access and quality gaps in sport activities for youth and help organizations to fill them, guided by one aspirational model and three strategic frameworks.”
Americans say youth sports deserves public funding.
More than half of U.S. adults (52%) say such support for sports would have the most impact at the youth and school sports levels, according to a survey commissioned by the Commission on the State of U.S. Olympics and Paralympics. Far fewer adults identified the Olympics (14%), Paralympic Games (7%), college sports (6%) and professional leagues (5%) as deserving of taxpayer support (State of Play 2023 report).
