By supporting PeacePlayers you are joining in our mission to unite divided communities through sport, and as we work together to create a global network of youth leaders who grow into agents for peace and change within their communities.

Like the stories below from Bryan and Toot, PeacePlayers youth leaders from Brooklyn and the Middle East who were both at the event Their stories remind us what can happen when we use something as simple as a basketball to empower youth to lead their families, friends and communities into a more peaceful world.

Bryan is from the Van Dyke Houses of Brownsville and joined PeacePlayers Brooklyn last spring as one of the youngest members of the Leadership Development Program. He is also a participant in the United Brownsville Cornerstone League, which unites young people from six housing developments with police officers through the game of basketball. Bryan is looking forward to another season of PeacePlayers, where he will take on a peer mentor role with the younger Peace League participants. You can read Bryan's full story, HERE.

Toot has been involved with PeacePlayers Middle East for over 8 years. She joined when she was 12 and was later on the first ever mixed, Jewish-Arab, All-Stars team that went on to win the league championship by hitting the game winning basket. Toot has since graduated from the league, but still facilitates Leadership Development Program trainings for PeacePlayers and has recently joined the women's team. PeacePlayers' impact on Toot was so profound that her younger brother and sister are also now members of the program. You can read more about Toot's journey in the Most Significant Change Report,HERE. (https://www.peaceplayers.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/PeacePlayers-Most-Significant-Change-Stories-2017-3.pdf)
