We ignite hope.

Ignite International (est. 2003) exists to ignite generational cycles of hope one life at a time through the universal language of sport. For over 20 years we have led a movement empowering athletes, coaches, educators, and everyday heroes to become forces of impact through leadership and character development. Our unique approach to training delivers practical strategies to empower elite achievers and values-driven dreamers to transform nations.

The language of sport transcends even the most diverse contexts, connecting humanity by a delicate tether between shared adversity and the power to overcome. The language of sport contains strategies that can turn loss into victory and pain into gain. The language of sport creates a culture of belonging for the development and empowerment of others.

Impact Statement

    You were the first in sports who made me see how much we are loved by God and that if we try hard enough we can achieve our goals. Above all, we must use our blessings and knowledge to help others.
  • Rudy Suwara

    In all my experiences as both an Olympic player and coach, I was constantly amazed at the goodness of all peoples and their love of sports. I hope you are able to help Judy Fox reach her dream of bringing the spirit of God and sports together. You will be helping give young people the opportunity to reach their dreams.
