The Alternatives to Violence Project is a volunteer-run conflict transformation program. Trained facilitators lead experiential workshops to develop participants’ ability to resolve conflicts without resorting to manipulation, coercion, or violence. Founded in 1975 by a group of Quakers and civil rights workers together with prisoners at Greenhaven prison in New York, it has now spread to all continents and has celebrated its 50th anniversary.
