Program Plan: Dungeon Runners

Abstract

Supported by a growing body of research that suggests role-playing games can produce positive outcomes for young people, (see “The Benefits of Role-Playing Games”), a library-held Dungeons & Dragons program has the potential to benefit the social development of teenagers within our communities. Dungeon Runners will offer the chance for teens to explore the empowering potential of role-playing games for the first time, or to provide a space for teens who are already invested in them as a hobby.
