Since 2010, Kids Play International, a nonprofit founded by local Park City 3x Olympian Tracy Evans (Freestyle Skiing-Aerials), has provided successful year-round sport for development programs in Rwanda, Cambodia and the USA, impacting over 7500+ youth and adults.

Kids Play's year round after school and community based programs for youth ages 7-18 use powerful sport-based activities and conversations that build social emotional development skills and equip youth with mental strength tools to help them reach higher levels of education, build job readiness skills and create healthier, more equitable relationships.

MISSION

Promoting Equality, Education, and Mental strength through sport.

VISION

A world in which girls and boys are empowered and have the same opportunities to achieve their fullest potential and participate in and contribute to all aspects of life.

VALUES

Rooted in the belief that sport can be a powerful catalyst for social change, Kids Play values are Olympic Values.

Excellence: always doing your best, especially when no one is looking.

Friendship: being tolerant, kind, and taking the time to listen to one another.

Fair Play: respecting the rules in the game, in life, respect yourself and others.

Kids Play International believes gender equity transforms communities and countries and that it is not only a woman’s right, it is a human right.

KPI leverages the power of sport and the Olympic values in a safe space so girls and boys can positively challenge and shift harmful gender, social, and cultural norms. Sport has been proven to provide a unique environment where harmful norms can be renegotiated giving girls the same opportunities as boys to reach their full potential. Genocide education and prevention go hand in hand with gender equity as the assumptions and perceptions a society holds regarding the roles and responsibilities of each gender affect their power dynamics in and out of conflict.

KPI provides a unique Let’s Play Fair program that is mixed-gender, multi-sport, and embedded long-term into communities. The Kids Play model has been designed to work deeply within a single community over an extended period of time so that we may catalyze lasting and sustainable change in a concentrated geographic area. Kids Play also delivers All Girls United sessions and camps to delve more deeply into women's topics and our weekly Play Fair Community Day program engages youth and adults of all ages to share our weekly Let's Play Fair lessons with the greater community.

With the greatest potential to redefine community norms, KPI believes that young people are the long-term solution to changing deep-rooted beliefs and building a healthy society where each gender’s contribution is highly valued.

Our programmatic approach is go deep and not broad, changing lives not just touching them.
