Nonviolent Peaceforce has a proven methodology to protect civilians and transform the world's response to violence. NP has been more effective in reducing rapes and sexual violence in South Sudan than any other NGO.
In the words of Martin Luther King, 'Nonviolence or nonexistence'

I support this organisation and it's aims because it is clear to me that militiarism is neither a sustainable, nor a morally acceptable, stance for civilisations to take in the face of existential challenges. We are better than that. If we, humanity, are to have a future which does not consist of existing solely as fuel for a global war machine, then we must work together to find other solutions to lifes struggles, and other ways of resolving conflicts when they arrise. People matter. Peoples lives and the quality of those lives matter. Freedom from fear of violent death, deforming injuries, forced homelessness and de-humanising warfare matters. There are no exceptions to this. A recognition of the equal worth and validity of every person, in every part of our bio-sphere, is needed and I see this organisation as a beacon of hope for a progressive and mature future for humankind.

I started as intern with Nonviolent Peaceforce and was hired earlier this year. Volunteering with Nonviolent Peaceforce is a good way to update your skills and resume, while at the same time doing your part as a global citizen to promote peace.

I am a former soldier who served only in peace time.I find it sad that we continue to send our troops into battlefields that have underground bombs.I believe a peaceforce is better.Standing up for the less fortunate.

Nonviolent Peaceforce is doing a good job around the world. It is fighting against the violence and bringing peaceful atmosphere in various part of the world. Now I am working in Zambia, I know how the people are surviving in rural areas, really they are starving without water and food. Its not possible to wipe out the poverty completely but at least it can be reduced at a certin percentage through the help of International Organizations. To be frank I would recommend this Organization predominantly to all my friends circle.

I value the importance of peace in human life. I have experienced violence in my country Kenya after elections in 2007/08 and volunteered to preach Peace. Since then I have come to value the importance of peaceful coexistence among different communities with different cultures, religion, background etc. I wish to pursue a career as a civilian Peace keeper and peace builder and recommend many to join me in this career.

Peace is very elusive in most societies and any organisation working to bring about peace and cohesion is worth recommending to anyone!

I came to know about NP from Chuck Esser. I found it very meaningful and practical. The mission and strategy of NP is uptodate and cost effective.
It is a privilege to be part of this mission.

I met a Mary Lou, a volunteer at NP, at a protest in early '03 (this was the 2nd protest I'd every attended in my 63 years). I learned about NP's mission & background. After meeting the director & staff, I began spending 3 to 4 hours a week there. It wasn't too long and I made a personal commitment to invest at least 2 to 3 times as much time working for something, as protesting against something.
The staff has worked with me to blend the needs of NP with my personal skills & interests.
After serving 2 years in the US Army during the VN era & 28 years working with veterans at the VA Medical Center & MN Veterans Home, I became honestly convinced that NP was a far better approach to conflict resolution. I also believe that this offers the potential for a better world for my/our 4 kids & 6 grandchildren.
Peace & Love,
Tom

It is very meaningful to be a part of an organization with such an incredible mission. Although I've worked with international organizations previously, this was the best experience I've had working with people from such diverse cultures. There is a commitment in balancing the voices of Global North and Global South throughout the organization.
