fight for peace international
London
At Fight for Peace young people make friends, get fit, and develop their
interests, skills, and confidence. Our aim is to ensure young people achieve
their full potential in life, and we welcome any young person from our
communities aged 7-25 years old.
We embrace the power of sport for the life lessons it teaches, such as
resilience and discipline, as well as improved health and wellbeing. And we
combine this with one-to-one mentoring conversations with qualified youth
workers, personal development sessions, and education and employability support.
Young leaders also shape our services, being part of staff recruitment and
strategy development, producing communications, and progressing to employed
roles as ‘Next Gen’ staff.
We support around 500 young people per year at our Academy in east London and,
in order to reach as many young people as possible, we train and work with like
minded community partners across the UK and the world - something we call the
Fight for Peace Alliance. We also coordinate Collectives in east London and
Jamaica to bring together diverse partners from across communities in support of
young people.
