Play for Peace is dedicated to telling the stories of our clubs around the world. We are thrilled to add more volunteers to the team who tells these stories - stories of kindness, compassionate action, and positive community change around the world.
Our Play for Peace Clubs are the heart of our organization, and part of the way we know our Clubs have a positive impact on local communities is through the wonderful stories we gather from our trainers and mentors. It's important to provide as much support as possible to our clubs, and telling their stories is a large part. We're thrilled to add to our team of talented writers from around the world, who will bring their passion for peace into the stories they tell. These blog writers join us from countries all around the world, and bring a great variety of experience with them, too. In addition to reporting on stories from our trainers, mentors, and youth leaders, they will also help us increase our understanding of the issues faced by our Play for Peace Clubs. These writers join a team an already stellar team of talented and dedicated writers whose passion for storytelling comes through in each compelling story they write.
