PeaceBuilder Institute  empowers student-athletes to become catalysts for social impact and systems change through a framework grounded in human-centered design and systems thinking. Anchored by Student-Athlete Advisory Councils (SAAC), the Institute transforms the influence of sport into a vehicle for creation, innovation, and inspiration. Students learn to identify root causes to challenges they identify, co-design solutions, and mobilize their peers to strengthen belonging, wellness, and youth voice within their schools and neighborhoods. This system functions as a student-led ecosystem for leadership and social change, where sport becomes a tool for healing, collaboration, and transformation that extends far beyond the game.
