Philly Plays Scrabble® begins each year with a month-long invitation for people of all ages to play Scrabble® in Library locations. Its purpose is to highlight Philadelphia as a city committed to literacy and to recruit Scrabble® coaches to lead after-school clubs for kids. Volunteers may select sites in which they want to work and ASAP/After School Activities Partnerships will provide materials, training, and arrangements, making the experience both safe and rewarding for volunteers and participants alike.
