<H2>AVP Basic First Level Workshop </H2>
AVP workshops are a series of hands-on, experiential, workshops where participants learn conflict resolution techniques to respond non-violently to situations where injustice, prejudice, frustration, and anger can lead to violent words or actions. Learn proven strategies and methods for implementing nonviolent alternatives in your life. 
Take this workshop for personal growth or as a first step toward volunteering as a workshop facilitator in the community or in our prisons.

What if I am not available for the entire two day, Saturday and Sunday workshop?
This experiential workshop is based on building a community which builds trust among participants and requires that everyone be present for all activities. We certainly understand that this is a significant time committment and ask that you only attend if you are able to fully participate for the two days. You will be surprised how engaging and thought provoking this experience will be!
