AVP-USA, Inc. is a national organization focused on working to end systemic violence in the community and in the corrections system. The Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP-USA) is based out of Saint Paul, Minnesota, but they offer workshops throughout the country. These workshops focus on healing communities impacted by systemic violence through workshops that address generational trauma and state sponsored violence against underserved communities. Within the corrections system, AVP-USA offers workshops that pair incarcerated individuals with volunteer mentors and prison staff who share a commitment to reducing violence through conflict management, behavioral mindset changes and positive relationship building. Additionally, the organization helps to support individuals as they return to the community through targeted reentry services. Supporting justice involved individuals during and after incarceration gives them the best chance at successfully reintegrating into the community.
