The initiative aims to combat prison recidivism, one of the rustiest gears in the poverty cycle, by expanding the work of Roca Inc., a Boston-based organization that has had stunning success keeping young people out of jail and helping them get their lives on track.

It's been 20 years since Norwegian speed skater Johann Koss competed in the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. In his three events, Johann won three gold medals and set three world records. For some, that might have been the apex of their life achievements. For Johann, it was just the beginning of his path to show the power that play and sport can have on individuals and the world. Johann went on to found Right To Play, a global organization that uses the transformative power of play - playing sports, playing games - to educate and empower children facing adversity.
