Active play and education when working hand and hand can go far in advancing community development. Coaches Across Continents (CAC), an NGO registered in both the USA and UK, links all three through their unique Self-Directed learning model that educates people through play to identify, address, and solve problems specific to their communities. Through this multidimensional approach, CAC empowers communities with the knowledge and skills needed to pave their own future.
