About the show

In Play If Forward, we highlight people with opportunities forwarding opportunities to youth at the margins of the economic mainstream. Whether it’s arts, entertainment, athletics, civil service, or private business, we know that everyday someone, who may have faced adversity or challenges themselves, found some way to overcome them and achieve a relative level of success. Yet, instead of forgetting where they came from, these very same people recognize the importance of giving back to their community or those just like it. In essence, they Play It Forward.
