Kayla Magnus

Kids Klub Volunteer

​

Becoming a mom opened my eyes to a world I never fully understood before. Through my two incredible daughters, I have learned the importance of acceptance, inclusion, and celebrating the unique strengths and differences that make each person who they are. Every day, they continue to teach me valuable lessons about empathy, resilience, and the power of creating spaces where everyone feels welcome.

​

My family attended our first Next Generation Playground event last year, and we were immediately inspired by the sense of community, support, and belonging it provided. Seeing firsthand the impact NGP has on families reinforced how important accessible and inclusive opportunities are for children of all abilities. I am honored to volunteer with an organization that is making such a meaningful difference and helping build a more inclusive community where every child and family can thrive.
