BayNVC - Bay Area Nonviolent Communication
Parent Peer Leadership Program (PPLP)
With BayNVC Trainers and Affiliated Staff
NOTE:
If you would like to apply for the 2008-2009 PPLP or are considering
an application, you can get the 4 documents you will need here.
Program Intentions & Goals
The PPLP is a nine-month program aimed at nurturing and developing leaders
who are committed to spreading NVC to parents in their communities,
especially in those regions where there are no NVC trainers. Through a
variety of program components, the PPLP hopes to provide these leaders
the experience, skills and support they need to successfully support other
parents who want to learn and practice NVC in their families. The PPLP
is a program of the Peaceful Families, Peaceful World Project of the
international Center for Nonviolent Communication and BayNVC.
Program Information
The PPLP begins in August 2008 and runs through April 2009. It includes
a week-long family camp, regularly scheduled teleclasses, weekly study
suggestions, buddy relationships, and individualized tele-support.
The only residential aspect of the program is the family camp that
will take place in Calistoga, Northern California from August 10-17.
A maximum of 20 peer leaders will be selected to participate in the
program based on a number of different criteria including experience
and skill with NVC; commitment to living NVC and sharing NVC with
parents; geographical location; and ability to commit to the various
program components. We anticipate that most participants will be parents,
but non-parents who want to focus primarily on sharing NVC with parents
are also welcome. We estimate that the program will involve a 4-8 hour
weekly commitment from participants, not including the time spent
at Family Camp. In addition, our intention is that all participants
will initiate and lead parent groups focused on empathy and NVC
practice in their local communities starting in February 2009 and
continuing for at least one year after the end of the program.
Application Process & Timelines
Interested applicants can download the necessary documents here, or can contact Karin Morris via email or
phone for further dialogue or to receive the application materials.
Applications are due April 18, and we anticipate making decisions by
mid to late May. Late applications will be accepted provided there is
space in the program.
