Empowerment Through Sports

At Wings for Peace, we believe in the transformative power of aerial sports—not only as thrilling experiences, but as powerful tools for inclusion, confidence-building, and healing.

Why Aerial Sports

Skydiving and other aerial disciplines symbolize freedom, courage, and self-discovery. For individuals who have experienced conflict, marginalization, or hardship, taking to the sky can be more than a dream—it can be a turning point. These sports demand trust, discipline, and mental resilience, making them an ideal space for personal growth and empowerment.

Our Approach

We provide two types of support through our Empowerment Through Sports program:

Discovery Days: Our Discovery Days are accessible, one-day events designed for everyone—no prior experience or physical ability required. Participants can safely experience the magic of flight through tandem skydives, wingsuit tandems, rope jumps, or other aerial activities. Each jump is more than a thrill: it's a moment of liberation and a spark of hope.
Takeoff Program: For participants who wish to go further, we offer full training in skydiving—from first solo jumps to advanced certifications. Our long-term goal is to create national skydiving and wingsuit teams in regions where these sports are currently inaccessible. Participants are mentored by world-class instructors and join a global community of pilots.

Impact Beyond the Sky

This isn’t just about flying—it’s about reclaiming confidence, building new futures, and challenging the idea that these sports are reserved for a privileged few.
Our programs also support mental health and trauma recovery, giving participants a sense of control and agency in a world that often denies them both.
