Center for Nonviolent Solutions

The Center for Nonviolent Solutions, located at the Worcester Friends Meeting House, 901 Pleasant Street in Worcester, was founded in 2008 by concerned citizens of Central MA. The Center seeks to promote alternatives to violence in transforming conflict at the local, national, and international levels. The Center will: provide resources and take action to assist in peacemaking and conflict resolution; increase awareness of the consequences of violence and the effectiveness of nonviolent solutions; offer resources—film, books, speakers, syllabi—on peace, conflict, and nonviolence studies at the elementary, secondary, college, and adult community levels; and facilitate collaboration among Worcester area peace groups, religious groups, and local groups working for sustainable and just communities.
