Ben Schornack

Ben Schornack is the Executive Director of Laureus Sport for Good USA, where he leads the organization’s national strategy, partnerships, fundraising, and operations. Since joining Laureus in 2017, he has led the launch and growth of Sport for Good in New York and Chicago, built cross-sector coalitions, and raised tens of millions of dollars to expand access to sports-based youth development programs.

Earlier in his career, Ben worked as an adaptive PE teacher and basketball coach before leading the New York City work of Up2Us Sports. Across these roles, he has experienced sport as an athlete, educator, coach, fundraiser, coalition-builder, and nonprofit leader. He believes sport remains one of the most underused tools available to help young people thrive, strengthen communities, and create more equitable systems of opportunity.
