Celebrating Volunteer Appreciation Month!

Friends for a NonViolent World is fueled by the power of our passionate and talented volunteers.

April is volunteer appreciation month and what a wonderful month it has been to be able to reflect on all the amazing individuals who make up the FNVW community, past and present. FNVW is an organization made up of people who work and move with integrity, operating on the foundations of equality and stewardship. The work and change that happens within FNVW is a product of all of you!

FNVW is you, and FNVW would not be where it is today without the amazing souls that show up in spaces with an open heart, ready to learn, and ready to change the world around them. Thank you all for the time, energy, passion, love, and commitment that you share with FNVW.  You all make FNVW what it is, thank you so much!!
