Football for Peace (FfP) is a diplomatic sports movement that uses football to create dialogue and unite people. FfP, Luton Town FC Community Trust and Luton Borough Council have joined in partnership to enable young people to work together within communities to create greater mutual understanding and respect, developing personal skills in the process.
30 young male and female Peace Ambassadors will be recruited to:
• Get involved in something worthwhile that will positively affect their career choices

Ambassadors don't need:
• Knowledge or experience of sport, but an interest in sport would be helpful
