The joy factor
What would bring you joy?
It's the question we ask children, parents, teachers, volunteers and whole neighborhoods. Their answers decide what we build next.
"A park where nobody says hurry up."
"A giant slide. And snacks."
"Riding bikes until it's actually dark."
"A place that's always open for kids."
"More time with my kids and less guilt about it."
"One free thing on a Saturday that isn't a screen."
"Knowing my toddler has diapers through the month."
"Art supplies that don't have to be shared four ways."
"Field trips we can actually afford to take."
"A downtown where families want to linger."
"Somewhere my family can go that's free."
"Seeing the same kids every week and knowing their names."
"Being the reason a kid had the best day of their summer."
