There are two separate E-mail Discussion Groups

An E-mail discussion group (listserve) is a list of E-mail addresses grouped under one master E-mail address. Your E-mail posts will be seen by everyone subscribed to the list (with all messages archived online).

 Both listserves are 'membership required', with access limited to Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) facilitators worldwide.

AVP Discussion Group (AVP-L)

AVP-L is our traditional discussion group for AVP facilitators, dedicated and restricted to sharing the 'nuts and bolts' of education and facilitation of AVP workshops, such as new exercises or methods, techniques for working with specific workshop populations, leadership training resources, etc., as well as any announcements pertaining to AVP/USA.   If you have this type of material to share, consider posting it here, as it will reach more facilitators.

Once subscribed, you will receive e-mails as others post to the discussion group.  By editing your membership at http://avp-l.avpusa.org, you can elect to receive these e-mails in one of three formats:

1.  A separate e-mail with every post to the list.

2.  A bundled digest containing the last 25 posts in one daily e-mail.

3.  An abridged digest of all posts for the day, organized by topic and with short snippets of the post.  You click on a link to go to googlegroups.com to read the entire posting.  This option produces the least amount of e-mail.

With all options, the discussion threads are permanently stored and available at googlegroups.com, so you don't need to archive your own copies. 

Facilitators Free-Forum (FFF)

The Facilitators Free-Forum is a discussion group permitting a wide exploration of issues not specifically related to AVP workshops.  Although the subject matter presented in this listserve primarily consists of AVP-related topics, there are no specific restrictions on post subject matter or length.

Primary responsibility for content moderation is provided by the list members on a mutual trust and respect basis, and with consideration for cultural differences.

Since this is a open forum, please understand that all postings are the expressions of the participating individuals, and do not represent opinions, policy or procedures of AVP/USA or of any other AVP local or international group.

FFF functions similarly to AVP-L, with the exception that there are no digest options.
