Nonviolent Peaceforce

Np works alongside communities to interrupt and prevent violence using unarmed civilian protection (ucp). In the united states, np trained people to de-escalate conflicts without weapons, liaise between groups, and accompany vulnerable communities. In nyc, np trained over 500 community members in upstander intervention, de-escalation and situational awareness. Through the community peacebuilding program in north minneapolis, np worked to collectively address community conflict and violence in north minneapolis. Np collaborated with minneapolis public schools to train and mentor unarmed school safety specialists. Np has also partnered with the school district to develop and co-coordinate a student peace advisory group: 15 students have taken the lead in developing new school safety initiatives and co-create trainings and engagement strategies to foster the safety and belonging of all.
