Do you want to help end it?

We can train you to be an

Alternatives to Violence Project Facilitator.

You can read about AVP here: https://www.projectsforacivilsociety.org/about/

We have full scholarships for training up to 20 people and a $500 stipend for those who complete the training.

In partnership with the Black Women’s Coalition to End Violence and King County we are looking to train a group of new Alternatives to Violence Facilitators for the area.

Full training would normally cost $1,000. Because of grants we are able to make it free. On graduation, you will be eligible to join facilitation teams and be paid as much as $1,000 per 3-day workshop.

Come Join the Team!

Communities of Belonging is a partner organization that empowers formerly homeless and incarcerated individuals to dream, connect and thrive.

Communities of Belonging’s Restorative Home provides safe, stable housing in King County for formerly incarcerated and homeless individuals. We gather weekly for community circles with allies of all backgrounds for a potluck dinner and circle. We also host Community Circles and other events to increase empathy and understanding and decrease fear and stigma around the complex issues of incarceration and homelessness through storytelling and personal sharing.

Located in Seattle, Washington Communities of Belonging supports formerly homeless and incarcerated individuals with peaceful, holistic reintegration back into society. We build safe, trusting and caring connections along with access to practical, tangible resources so that marginalized individuals feel a sense of belonging, purpose and contribution.
