Dealing with Conflicts: OCA-AVP Workshop

This OCA-AVP Workshop will build leadership and advocacy skills in cooperation and community building while developing non-violent solutions to facing Asian hate. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in active discussion with each other and OCA-AVP community volunteer leaders. The activities will include an introduction of the OCA and AVP volunteer programs alongside 2-3 discussion based exercises where everyone gets a chance to speak up and share their voices. 

 "Dealing with Conflicts" program was initialed by our YOCA member Max Wang. He connected with Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) after he recorded one of the Youth Podcasting this summer. The program is also sponsored by the Greenburgh Library, thanks to YOCA President Jaydon Cao who has helped on establishing the sponsorship. The program will be 2-3 hour workshops that introduce the respective programs while tying in exercises for building dialogue and transforming conflict. 

We will email you with a confirmation message one week prior to the event. RSVP will close at 20 per session date.
