We started the conversation in the August Call to Action event – let’s follow that up with an October 24th workshop to train service providers and volunteers on the signs and best practices for identifying and assisting clients who are potentially being trafficked. It is our hope to develop an on-going public involvement initiative and resource recruitment team. We hope you will join our effort to connect resources to ongoing initiatives and expand the after-care support network.

Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) helps us explore the power we all have to change hostility and destructiveness into cooperation, community, and justice. More details
Why?
To discover new ways to reduce conflict in your world, your community, organization, or personal life. Enjoy a hands-on, fun, activity-based experience (no need to take notes!) in an intensive weekend workshop. People who’ve taken the training report they have connected deeply with others, laughed, shared, listened. They’ve experienced increased trust and self-esteem and learned ways to reduce conflict in their world—whether classroom, family, work, or community.
Registration fee of $25 helps cover materials, snacks, beverages, and lunch on Saturday.
Who is AVP for?
It is a program for everybody. Though founded by Quakers based on their belief in an inborn power for peace in everyone, it draws its participants and its trainers from all religions, races and walks of life.
Can I earn Continuing Education Credits?
Curriculum materials and documentation of your participation can be provided. You will need to seek approval for the credits with your organization.
Can I participate in just a portion of the weekend training?
Participants are asked to make a commitment to be present for the entire training.
What happens in workshops?
LEARNING: Each workshop will start with a Lunch and Learn on a topic of interest. If you have suggestions for topics or would like to volunteer to present, contact us!
CONNECTING: Then, we’ll open the floor to other participating organizations to share a brief description of their organization – we want to know what you do and how to connect! Bring flyers to share, FAQs, slides, business cards – whatever you have and want to share. A challenge for all of us: after each meeting, reach out to at least TWO people or organizations you met.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Finally, we’ll break out into our Roundtables to tackle specific problems.
