On November 29th of 2018, a few friends and colleagues who serve Wake County’s marginalized, vulnerable, and “at risk’ came together to talk about the barriers and challenges of connecting clients with the basic necessities and the help they need.

We talked about existing systems and processes; what was working and what was not; and we talked about what could be…If…we could create a neutral platform where our work benefited one another in a collaborative culture that made communication about relationships once more.

As we approach our first birthday, we want to thank you for a phenomenal year!

Together, we rallied over 750 service providers and participants during:

2 Strategic Planning Meetings
6 CPN Member Supported Events
4 CPN Technical Trainings
1 CPN Community Call to Action
CPN Roundtable Focus Areas Demonstrated: Homelessness, Mental Health, Equity-Diversity-Inclusion, Human Trafficking, Employment, Reentry, and Technical Services – CPN Communications Tool Development, Tool and Resource Dashboard, and Data Farming.
Outreach grew by 420%.

Thank you for all who have served both past and present to launch us from our beginnings at Crossroads Fellowship Church into a new season drawing us closer as a family of organizations who are doing the GOOD WORKS!

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.

CPN Internal Resource Fair

Jun 25, 2019

In June 2019, the CPN took some time off for the lazy days of summer to get to know one another. Twenty-three organizations were represented and in-depth discussions ensued around legal services, reentry, education, peer support, addiction, and violence prevention. It was a great time to make connections, gain a better understanding of our resource gaps, and consider event teams that group Roundtable focus areas into relatable agendas for public involvement initiatives. Contact information for the June Workshop will be shared with the participants.
