Help facilitate life changing Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) workshops in Colorado's prisons and communities. Our workshops utilize the shared experience of participants, interactive exercises, games and role playing to examine the ways in which we respond to situations that can lead to aggressive behavior or violence. Participants discover new ways to communicate effectively, build community, and resolve conflict.
Make a difference in other people's lives while experiencing your own personal growth. Thank you for your interest! Contact Maire at: maire@avpcolorado.org.
