13 Year Old Pro Soccer Player
13-year-old phenom Da'Vian Kimbrough becomes youngest pro soccer player in U.S.
Da’ Vian Kimbrough's father, Dominique Kimbrough, was one of the first kids on Mr. Hank Roberts' soccer team.
Hanks' first soccer team came from multicultural East Oakland. He has been named Soccer Coach of the Year in District 4–Northern California. As a soccer coach, Hank elevated the self-esteem of disadvantaged youth—in particular pre-adolescent/adolescent boys. Mentoring and coaching were a natural blend, the perfect ingredients, which caused all who collaborated with Hank Roberts to succeed. Not only in soccer, but academically as well. The seeds—children playing soccer, rooted Peacemakers, Inc., on the educational map here in the Bay Area community.
What others say
A sample of what educators, administrators, students, and parents think of Peacemakers
The Peacemakers build strong, withstanding relationships with students and parents which fosters trust and camaraderie on behalf of the schools. Their presence truly creates a safe zone.

After School Administrator
Wilson Elementary
Of those 30 plus students, many, if not all, were in danger of not graduating or being retained. Approximately one hundred percent of those students who participated in Peacemakers and were in danger of not graduating actually graduated and have gone on to high school.

The Peacemakers really care about the students and build positive relationships with them.

Since the Peacemakers and Mr. Roberts have been at Prescott, I have personally spent most of my time teaching my students instead of disciplining them.
Dorothy Scott, Teacher

Mr. Roberts in his relationship with all students, but mainly male students, prepares for tomorrow by ensuring students understand that education is their top priority.
