Who they are...

Through basketball programming, peace education, and leadership development, PeacePlayers empowers youth to build peaceful and equitable societies. Our network of young leaders are changing communities around the globe.

What they do...

Their Change is Through A Global Movement of Youth Leaders Using Basketball to Create a More Peaceful World.

The 21st century has seen a surge in armed conflicts around the globe. In any society, children are often the most vulnerable in the face of conflict, suffering from widespread disease, hunger, as well as gender-based violence and exploitation. And conflicts don't always conclude with the signing of a peace agreement. Even in societies that have resolved major conflicts, peace is often fleeting. If signing a peace agreement isn't enough to end conflict once and for all, what can we do to create more peaceful societies?

If we want to see lasting peace in the world, we need to treat the root of conflict. That's what they do at PeacePlayers. They use basketball as an innovative tool to unite a critical mass of diverse youth leaders around the globe who work together to dismantle structures of conflict and inequality in their societies and beyond.
