Welcome to Hangar2. An inclusive space for all to Play with Purpose.

  • Our Why

    There’s no lack of evidence that our youth today are teetering on the edge of crisis. Their safety, and emotional and physical well-being are continually threatened by severe, ongoing stress and the socio-economic inequity that impacts our society. But there is a lack of tangible, positive plans of action that will help reverse this downhill spiral— or physical solutions that provide all children with equal access to, and opportunity for, a successful life no matter their ethnicity, background, color, or orientation.

  • Equal Access Opportunities

    The leadership behind the formation of Hangar2 have taken action to reverse this trend. In partnership with the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department, activity is under way to repurpose an existing structure in order to provide thousands of children with equal access to the opportunities that lead to a more successful life, no matter their ethnicity, color, socio-economic background, or orientation.

A 501c non-profit organization, the concept of Hangar2 has been created in concert with the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department as a safe, fun indoor neighborhood where children can come together.

They’ll engage in arts, athletics, technology, and social activities, while benefitting from the mentorship of trained coaches and directors. Programmed with help from the University of Washington’s Center for Leadership in Athletics, H2 will provide equal access to individual and group sports and other activities that nurture the development of the soft skills and life-long relationships that are critical to a successful life journey.

 

Our approved plan calls for equipping the facility with hard court space for 3 basketball courts (plus additional court sports); multi-purpose turf surface for lacrosse and other field sports; an archery range; a technology center; arts and maker’s studios; and multiple flex spaces. It will provide young people from all walks of life with access to unlimited extra-curricular activities, learning opportunities and social interaction.

Our Mission

Hangar2 represents our generation’s legacy and our commitment to the health of future generations. We intend to close the opportunity gap that exists for children from underserved and marginalized communities who lack equal access to the privileges afforded by extra-curricular involvement. Our mission is to level the playing field by welcoming, mentoring and serving kids from the wide range of socio-economic, gender, ethnic and racial backgrounds so they learn to interact, engage and have fun.
