About Us
Play for Peace is a collective effort maintained by a committed global learning community, from trainers and youth leaders in the field to volunteers and donors all over the world. Everyone has something to give and can be a leader of peace in his or her own way. Our community makes our mission a reality and invests in bettering the lives of children and communities today and tomorrow.
To bring together children, youth , and organizations in communities affected by conflict using cooperative play to create laughter, compassion, and peace.
To ignite learning initiatives in regions around the globe, networking as one unified community that contributes to a more peaceful world.
We promote cooperation, inclusion, caring, and fun with every event and activity we host.
Through Play for Peace, children, youth, adults, and organizations around the world have a platform to come together and create powerful, meaningful interactions. These individuals are transformed into architects and leaders of peace, and with the support of our global facilitators and ongoing learning opportunities, can unify their communities. Together we contribute to a more peaceful world.
We believe that...
anyone can be an architect, builder and leader for peace.
every community has the resources needed to create and sustain peace.
This movement that has spread across the world started with a dream. Co-founders Craig Dobkin and Michael Terrien began Play for Peace in the late nineties with a desire to bring peace to areas of conflict across the globe.
