Here, gamers, activists, parents, teachers, students, and young people from across the country alike come together to use gaming to confront violence, mental health, lack of opportunity and investment in communities of color, and celebrate those working together to find solutions and create access points to creative pathways. Our mission & objective to re-imagine gaming, e-sports & entertainment as a tool for healing, education, anti-violence and therapy, all the while creating opportunities for the at-risk, low income, system-impacted young people we serve.

The 1st Annual Gaming 4 Peace NBA 2K Invitational is a multi weekend online gaming tournament culminating in an in-person championship round played live at the LIFE Camp Game Changers Weekend at York College in Queens New York on April 6th, 2024. With a $25,000 prize pool, this will be a direct incentive to encourage young people to leave the streets, and become aware of the opportunities provided by the gaming industry.
