A National Program Offering Conflict Resolution Skills to Change Lives...

The Mission of the Alternatives to Violence Project is to empower people to lead nonviolent lives through affirmation, respect for all, community building, cooperation and trust.

Founded in and developed from the real life experiences of prisoners and others, and building on a spiritual base, AVP encourages every person’s innate power to positively transform themselves and the world.

AVP-NH provides community based groups and prison based groups offering experiential workshops in personal growth and creative conflict management. The national organization, AVP/USA, provides support for the work of local groups such as ours.
