Right To Play is a global organization that uses the transformative power of play to educate and empower children and youth facing adversity. It was founded in 2000 by Johann Olav Koss, a four-time gold medalist and social entrepreneur. Through sports and games, we help children build essential life skills and better futures, while driving social change in their communities with lasting impact.
Since 2010, Right To Play has partnered with First Nations and urban Aboriginal organizations across Ontario and Manitoba to deliver the PLAY Program. The PLAY program is focused on limiting the challenges and building on the strengths of Aboriginal youth and their communities, while supporting the value of culture and identity. In keeping with holistic models of community wellness, the PLAY Program strives to create positive change through the guidance of the holistic wheel and its teachings.
