Today, on the International Day of Play, join us in celebrating the profound impact of play! We believe that play is a fundamental right for every child. #internationaldayofplay 🏀😁 @peaceplayersni
Why do we connect virtually? Global connections open up an entire world of possibilities – these aren’t your average Zoom meetings.

Shoutout to Casey Flax for turning his bar mitzvah into a 3v3 tournament fundraiser for PeacePlayers! This event also showcased our core value of a Culture of Collaboration, uniting our Peace League leaders from Northwood Elementary in Baltimore with new friends.
Hoops, hikes and hope at PeacePlayers Middle East's Leadership Development retreat. Arab and Jewish girls played, ate, lodged, and got to just be kids together. No small feat during these difficult times.
The PeacePlayers Impact Report has arrived — check it out and let us know what you think in the comments!🤩

PeacePlayers Global Exchange!🌍🏀
Excited to be in South Africa on July 18 for 10 days of basketball, leadership training, & cultural learning. This historic event will bring together 30 youth from our PeacePlayers communities in the U.S., Northern Ireland, & South Africa.
Our goal? To build a peaceful, thriving community by sharing experiences and learning from each other. Let’s celebrate unity and diversity through the game we love.
Funding provided by the United States government. @Exchanges360 // @SportsDiplomacy

Tonight’s the night! 🏀 As the WNBA season kicks off, we're cheering on all the incredible female athletes who inspire us daily. Special shoutout to our partners at the NY Liberty for their commitment to our programming and the empowerment of women in sports. Go WNBA!
Through our hoops, we forge paths to peace. In the Middle East, our policy initiatives advocate for equality in sports, transforming the game of basketball into a game of change.
Our Career Summit in Brooklyn is more than just a program—it's a commitment to breaking down historical barriers and fostering equity. We empower our youth with the skills, connections, and opportunities necessary to navigate and succeed.

Our impact isn't just playing sports—it's about helping young people reach their potential no matter where they come from. As Paris, a PeacePlayers alumna from South Africa, shares, “We are chasing our dreams, and already it has such an effect.”

From Northern Ireland to the world, we're not just playing a game; we're nurturing minds and strengthening bodies. Mental health is at center court, ensuring our young athletes are as robust in spirit as they are in sport.
Today, yes, today. EVERYONE WINS. Sport helps transform gender norms, improves body image, and boosts self-esteem. Girls who play sports are more likely to excel academically and graduate high school.
