A VP provides Conflict Resolution and communication Workshops focused on cultivating a spirit of peace within prisons and local communities. Conflict is a normal part of life, and can be used as a tool for change and transformation. AVP workshops create a safe space for dialogue and use the shared experiences of participants, interactive exercises, games and role-plays to see beyond differences, to explore common ground and to discover the power within ourselves to transform our lives.
AVP is looking for volunteer facilitators to help organize and facilitate workshops inside communities and prison facilities. As a facilitator, you would join a global community of local council's focused on providing communities and individuals the tools for transforming conflict to positive change.
To become a facilitator, volunteers must complete three AVP provided trainings. Once these workshops are completed, facilitators will have a flexible schedule to facilitate workshops as part of a team of facilitators. Upcoming opportunities include:

Mission Statement
AVP is... An experiential program, helping people change their lives. A community program, offering a new approach for community groups, communication, social service agencies, schools, youth organizations and all who would like to participate. A prison program, helping inmates learn new skills and attitudes that lead to fulfilling and crime-free lives. AVP builds upon a spiritual base of respect and caring for self and others. Though founded by Quakers, AVP draws participants and trainers from all religions, races, sexual identity, and walks of life.

Description
Local groups are connected through an informal California collective of representatives, who bring together facilitators to produce successful workshops. They assist one another by exchanging ideas and working on specific California AVP issues. Until local groups are established throughout the state, the AVP/CA Steering Committee functions as the statewide contact for opening new prison and community programs, as well as developing direction for AVP in the state.
