Founded in 2008, Stamford Peace uses high-level basketball instruction, training and competition, as well as academic support, to positively influence local youth and help them achieve their full potential on and off the court. Committed to a philosophy that "basketball is a privilege," the sport becomes our "hook" by which we attract and engage young people to our academic supports and informal mentoring programs. Academic programming is accomplished through our Beyond Limits Academic Program. "Basketball, Education, and Citizenship" is our rallying cry.
