JOIN US! The Alternatives to Violence Project (Los Angeles) is hosting THREE basic workshops in the months of December and January. Each workshop is FREE.

The 'Basic' is a unique experiential workshop designed to build community, enhance participants' awareness and self-esteem, and strengthen skills in conflict transformation, nonviolent communication, and problem-solving. This is the first step towards becoming a trained AVP facilitator, able to facilitate groups in communities and prisons across the country.

Each online workshop takes place over one month in a series of 8 mini-sessions (2.5 hours each). These workshops also include anonymous participation in a research study on the effectiveness of AVP, and ask that you complete two questionnaires at the beginning (1 st session) and end (8 th session) of the workshop (this time is built into the workshop schedule), with the option of participating in a focus group interview after completing the workshop.

ABOUT AVP. The Alternatives to Violence Project (Los Angeles) is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization offering experiential workshops in prisons, jails, and communities in and around Greater Los Angeles. AVP was founded in 1975, in a coalition between individuals incarcerated at Green Haven Prison and a local Quaker group, who together sought to develop a program to convey the consequences of and alternatives to violence. Our mission is to build a movement of creative conflict resolution by empowering communities through individual and collective transformation. We are affiliated with AVP California, AVP USA and AVP International.
