work with us

Go Play is dedicated to expanding sports and recreational opportunities, with a special focus on youth and neighborhoods around The Fields at RFK Campus.

From the start, bridging communities has been central to our mission. We’re here to connect Capitol Hill residents with those in Wards 7 and 8, bringing the benefits of sports, teamwork, and play to as many young people and families as possible—especially those who have limited access to these resources.

We’re passionate about what we do! Think you can match that passion? Join our professional, fun, and dedicated team, and help us make a lasting impact in our community.
