Volunteer!
Friends Peace Teams welcomes Spanish speaking facilitators of the Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) to work as volunteers with its partners in Colombia, El Salvador and Guatemala. Since these programs are ongoing, schedules can be arranged to accommodate your travel plans. In the summer of 2008, several delegations will work on developing a program of community-based trauma healing in Colombia, including workshops offered by Burundian and Rwandan facilitators of the Healing and Rebuilding Our Communities program.
