More about PeacePlayers International Champions for Peace
At PeacePlayers, we build peace by healing divides through the unifying power of sport.
As a global nonprofit, we offer sport programming, peace education, and leadership development to those living in communities in conflict. We challenge the status quo of hatred by providing youth with the skills to confront conflict with empathy as they grow into ambassadors for peace in their communities.
PeacePlayers has become a worldwide leader in the implementation of sport programming since its inception in 2001. After working with over 75,000 youth and training more than 2,000 coaches from 15 countries around the globe, our peacebuilding model remains centered on the simple premise that those who play together can learn to live together.
