AVP is looking for indviduals interested in facilitiating workshops in diverse communities. Our programs in California include work with schools, atrisk youth, community organizations, companies, jails, juvenile facilitites, non-profits and prisons.
AVP workshops offer opportunities to discover common ground between diverse groups and to connect deeply, be joyful, and be deeply nourished. You will learn how to create a safe environment to make this possible. You will learn to confront and resolve conflict in your life, your community and between communities. Our workshops use the shared experiences of participants, interactive exercises, games and role playing to see beyond differences, to explore mutual respect and discover the power within ourselves to transform lives - our own, and those around us.
If you would like to find out more please contact our local outreach coordaintor at justin@avpcalifornia.org or highdesert@avpcalifornia.org. Below are some upcoming opportunities:

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.
