Description

Nonviolent Peaceforce - Minneapolis
Nonviolent Peaceforce (based on Gandhi's dream of a Shanti Sena, or Peace Army) is an international nonpartisan unarmed largescale peaceforce of trained civilians. In partnership with local groups, Nonviolent Peaceforce members apply proven nonviolent strategies to protect human rights, deter violence, and help create space for local peacemakers to carry out their work.

Most of the staff are in Brussels and in Minneapolis. There are individual staff in other parts of the United States, and then in Ecuador, India, and parts of Africa. There are five full-time staff in the Minneapolis office, and one part-time employee. There are a significant number of near full-time volunteers as well. There is an international governing council that serves as the Board of Directors.

The U.S. Nonviolent Peaceforce Chapters Association nurtures a powerful network of local chapters that help the global Nonviolent Peaceforce build a trained international civilian peace force. Through sharing of resources, skills, communication, and education, the Nonviolent Peaceforce will be sent to conflict areas to prevent death and destruction and protect human rights, thus creating the space for local groups to struggle nonviolently, enter into dialogue, and seek peaceful resolution.
