KaBoom, a not-for-profit organization focused on creating great playspaces across the nation, is inviting charter school community members to attend a 3-day training workshop in New Orleans to learn how to build high quality playspaces in their schools. The organization is offering scholarships to cover the $195 registration fee as well as up to $400 to help defray costs of travel. Five thousand dollar challenge grants to apply to the purchase of equipment will also be awarded to over 100 organizations planning to use the KaBOOM community build model to complete playspaces in 2007.
