The Help Increase the Peace Program, known as HIPP, is a 3-day workshop that teaches young people and adults communication skills for conflict resolution. HIPP confronts prejudice and renews our hope to be agents for positive social change. The training introduces alternatives to violence and allows participants to practice various options by modeling and role playing. Exercises include self-affirmation and discovery of how insensitivity can magnify problems. It's straightforward and fun. And it’s happening here in Charlottesville.

Suggested donation: $30 - includes lunches and snacks (Scholarships available).

Participants should plan to attend all three sessions: Friday 6PM-9PM, Saturday 10AM-6PM, and Sunday 1PM-7PM
