Jill VialetSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

As a social entrepreneur, Jill Vialet co-founded the Museum of Children's Art (MOCHA) in Oakland, California and, more recently, founded Playworks, a recess and after school physical activity program. With the conviction that “play is a precious commodity,”1 she declares, “When recess is bad, it infects the entire school day. But a vibrant recess is like grease for a school's gears. It makes everything else go more smoothly.”

Jill grew up active in sports and play activities, which often included the more traditional sports usually reserved for boys. Early on she was guided by Coach Clarence, a local playground recreational worker, who assisted her in being involved in these sports.3 Encouraged, her interest continued where in high school she was a state champion in track, in college she played basketball and rugby and coached soccer,4 and presently she enjoys running and mountain biking.
