#SportsDiplomacy programs leverage the power of sport to empower women and girls, and teach the skills necessary to build stronger, more inclusive communities.
In June 2024, the Sports Visitor Program hosted 58 participants from Taiwan, Czech Republic, Italy, Georgia, Israel, Brazil, Niger, Mauritania, Bangladesh, nine countries in collaboration with The Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy and PeacePlayers International in Los Angeles. Over two weeks, the youth athletes practiced basketball and soccer with American peers, attended professional soccer games, learned rugby basics, and trained at LAFC and Jumpman LA’s rooftop court. They also visited USC to work on writing, brainstorm entrepreneurial ventures, learn about leadership in sports, and practice mindfulness techniques. The success of the program was thanks to partners like the Center For Healing and Justice Through Sport, Positive Coaching Alliance, Jr. Clippers, Train the Mind, and UCLA Sports Performance Powered by EXOS. Thank you to all partners and facilitators for their contributions.
