Become a Chapter of IPA USA 

IPA USA is looking for members interested in establishing an IPA USA State or Regional Chapter to focus efforts on promoting the child’s right to play at the local, regional, or state level. The chapters would assist IPA USA in organizing efforts to promote the National Day of Play and the International Day of Play and to work within your chapter to support others interested in incorporating child-initiated play into every child’s day. Outreach to individuals to increase IPA USA membership will also be a focus. IPA USA Chapters will have support through access to the  PlayDay Toolkit, Policy Briefs, the  IPA USA 50th Anniversary White Paper,  the  200 + Porch Play Chats, Mini-Grants to fund Playdays or other advocacy efforts,  and quarterly Zoom calls with an IPA USA Board Member. To be a chapter, you must have 12 current IPA USA members.  If you are interested or have questions, fill out the form at https://ipausa.org/connect/ for more information.
