AVP is a worldwide association of volunteer groups offering experiential workshops to youth and adults in conflict resolution, responses to violence, and personal growth. AVP teaches nonviolent skills and techniques such as used by Mohandas Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to create successful personal interactions and to allow people to share and contribute more effectively.

Explore ways of becoming a more positive influence by changing how you respond to others. Sometimes just a slight change in how we word things can make the difference of whether someone becomes offended or upset, and in extreme cases, violent. While we often think of violence as physical abuse, violence can be as simple as a control-oriented phrase (which some might call being "parental" for instance), or making a disparaging remark (perhaps even made in jest). Sometimes violence can be directed inward, such as in putting one's own self down, or always speaking negatively about their performance. Come and be part of a movement that is already making a difference in lives around the world. more info...
