PLAY PROGRAM
In summer 2022, iThrive Games partnered with the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy to design and deliver the Policy Leadership Advocacy by Youth, or PLAY, Program on the University of Virginia campus. With funding from the Jefferson Trust, teens experienced a weeklong exploration of policy that featured resume-building and college essay-writing workshops, lunch-and-learns, and a field trip. Each day of the PLAY Program began with an iThrive Studio workshop where teens dug into the social issues they care about and the big questions they have in the space of a game. Explore it here.
