Youth Peace Olympics 2020 - Volunteers, Coaches and Mentors Training

The Youth Peace Olympics (YPO) is dedicated to helping youth aged 10 to 17 bring home a championship by taking part in sports, art, drama, and music, and coaching geared toward enriching, healthy living, and curbing violence. Youth accepted into the YPO will receive educational training sessions that are designed to increase their interests in personal success and to promote positive character development.

We are recruiting coaches and volunteers to help with this wonderful youth activity. If you want to help curb violence among youth and you would like to make a difference in the lives of our youth, this program is for you!

There is a required 3-hour Program Orientation Training on Tuesday, March 31, 2020. A make-up training will be held on Thursday, April 2. The training will be held from 5:30 PM until 9 PM. Refreshments will be served.
