Kingdom for Kids is one of the Rotary Club of San Antonio's most enduring service projects, founded in 1997 by Past President Rick Cavender. The initiative brings together Rotarians, corporate teams, nonprofit staff, and community volunteers to build playgrounds in underserved areas of San Antonio where outdoor play opportunities are limited or nonexistent.
Since its founding, 28 Kingdom for Kids playground builds have been completed at schools, nonprofit campuses, and libraries throughout San Antonio, with Rotarians contributing thousands of hours of volunteer time. Notable projects include fully ADA-accessible playgrounds and specialized play areas for children with health and developmental challenges.
