BACKGROUND:

Right To Play is a global organisation that protects, educates and empowers children to rise
above adversity using play. By harnessing play, one of the most powerful and fundamental
forces in a child’s life, we helped 2.3 million children last year to stay in school and out of work,
to prevent life-threatening diseases like HIV and malaria and to stay safe from exploitation and
abuse. We are the only global development organization focused exclusively on using play to
transform the lives of children and youth impacted by poverty, war, disease and inequality.

Established in 2000, Right To Play is headquartered in Toronto, Canada and has operations in
22 countries across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

With a shared passion for our mission, our Culture Code guides how we act and interact based
on five core pillars: 

 Accept Everyone – Be intentional about inclusion

 Make Things Happen – Seek opportunities to lead and innovate
  Display Courage – Act with integrity
 Demonstrate Care – Look after yourself and one another
 Be Playful – Have fun at work
