OUR FIVE PILLARS

The direct support we offer to young people is delivered via our Academy programmes. Each programme features combinations of our Five Pillars – Boxing & Martial Arts, Education, Employability, Youth Leadership and Support Services.

Boxing & Martial Arts

Through combat sports young people build strength and discipline, a feeling of belonging and an understanding that success comes through hard work and dedication.

Education

We offer education programmes for young people who are not at school to re-engage with learning and support for those who need extra help with their school work.

Employability

We provide support and training for young people to access the job market and progress in their professional lives.

Support Services

Our specialist teams of staff support young people to overcome issues they may be facing in their lives.

Youth Leadership

Our young leaders contribute to the design and delivery of our work, represent Fight for Peace externally, and influence decision making at every level of our organisation.
