Our Vision
The PLAY HAYS FOUNDATION envisions a vibrant and connected Hays community where every child and youth can play, learn, and grow in a safe, creative, and welcoming environment.
Mission & Goals
We build and support community spaces, playgrounds, and youth activities to:
- Promote physical, mental, and social development.
- Encourage volunteerism and community engagement.
- Foster healthy lifestyles and teamwork.
- Support public space improvement and revitalization projects.
Social Impact
We believe that play is the foundation of growth and connection. Each playground we build is a space of joy and hope — where youth can explore, families can bond, and communities can thrive together.
Main Activities
- Community Playground Projects – building and improving safe play spaces in neighborhoods.
- Play Together Day – a local celebration for families and children to connect through play.
- Youth for Change Program – leadership and social engagement training for teens.
- Volunteer with Hays – uniting residents to create green, friendly community areas.
