Take a Workshop
This is the best way to see how AVP empowers people to create peaceful interpersonal relationships. Because we only occasionally have community workshops, you can experience a workshop by taking one at the three prisons where AVP-NNM has an active presence. You’ll not only have a great workshop experience but also get an idea of AVP prison work — safe, eye-opening, and soul-satisfying.
MAKE A DONATION
Your contribution supports workshops that are making a difference in the lives of inmates and community members in northern New Mexico.
CONTRIBUTE YOUR SPECIAL TALENTS OR EXPERTISE
AVP is always looking for volunteers in either a one-time or ongoing capacity. Here are some organizational needs:
- update our workshop database
- grant-writing or other fundraising
- liaise with other community groups
- bookkeeping
- arrange special events to introduce AVP to the community or youth
- [your talent here!]
Become a facilitator
Learn how to facilitate AVP workshops by completing an apprenticeship after taking all three of the AVP workshops (Basic, Advanced, Training for Facilitators). You’ll join teams of other facilitators to conduct community and prison workshops, and you’ll experience first-hand the amazing rewards of seeing individuals change their lives.
SPONSOR A WORKSHOP
Bring AVP to your community, church, or youth group. It’s easier than you think — you get together the group and provide the space, and AVP-NNM does (almost) all the rest.
Facilitate AVP overseas
Gain experience at home and then find facilitation opportunities with AVP International. Three of our AVP-NNM facilitators have worked on teams in Burundi, Colombia, and Nepal, truly life-changing ventures.
