Upcoming Workshops – How  Do I Register? Register on our website: https://avpindiana.org/registration-2/

As workshops are scheduled, they will appear on the registration page. Check back regularly if you are interested in taking a workshop. 

The next Basic Workshop is scheduled for Sunday, February 22 and Saturday, February 28 from 9am-6pm both days at Earlham College’s Multicultural Center in Richmond, Indiana. Participants must attend both days. Lunch and snacks will be provided by Earlham College. Students will be given priority in registration, but community members are invited to participate as long as space permits. 

Community workshops are scheduled when we have enough interest to conduct them. If you know a group of at least 10-12 people who are interested and would like to attend a Community workshop, please let us know by emailing us and we will be happy to work with you.

There are Virtual Zoom AVP workshops being conducted by local groups across the country. If we are not offering an in-person workshop you are able to attend, and you would like to take a workshop online, please visit the AVP-USA website at https://avpusa.org/get-involved/take-a-workshop/ to find information on upcoming workshops.

What Is The Cost? 

The sliding fee for the workshop is $0 to $60. Students may attend for free. We are an all volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit incorporated in the state of Indiana, so donations of any amount help defray our costs for workshop supplies, food, travel expenses, manuals for our incarcerated facilitators, and scholarships for students. No one is turned away for lack of funds. Payment or donations can be made by PayPal on our website or on the first day of the workshop. Checks can be made out to AVP Indiana.
