Play isn’t just for younger kids. For pre-teens and teens, play is a critical tool for development, supporting identity exploration and social connection.
Our friends at Young Futures invite you to the YF Innovators Showcase featuring the Here Comes the Fun Cohort on February 18, 2026. Hear directly from 8 visionary leaders who are designing innovative ways to support teen wellbeing through the power of play.
From turning city skylines into canvases for creative computing to building safer gaming communities and digital RPGs to tackle loneliness, these YF Innovators are redefining how we support youth in a hyper-digital world. Whether you’re a parent, educator, funder, or youth wellbeing advocate, you’ll leave with actionable insights to support the young people in your life.
