Training begins with an overview of Magical Bridge Foundation, its guiding principles, mission statement, and history. This overview includes a brief review of the many different challenges people with disabilities face at a typical playground, and an educational tour of Magical Bridge Playground and how it's different from typical playgrounds. Upon completion of the training, Kindness Ambassadors will earn an official Kindness Ambassador t-shirt to wear proudly at future Magical Bridge events.
