EXPERIENCE THE 2024 SUMMIT

FOR OVER 23 YEARS, PEACEPLAYERS HAS BEEN:

  • Building peaceful and thriving communities
  • Using basketball to bridge divides and develop leaders
  • Empowering youth around the world: South Africa, the Middle East, Northern Ireland and the United States

In 2017, PeacePlayers partnered with Nike to expand to the U.S., focusing on equity, leadership development and engaging girls.

The Girls Summit is the ultimate celebration of our year-round program, where girls and young women step into the spotlight, empowered by the game of basketball.

PeacePlayers uses the power of sport to build peaceful and thriving communities.
