The aim of AVP is to give people the tools to help reduce the level of violence in our society by giving them methods of conflict resolution that reduces their own need to resort to violent solutions to situations and problems they encounter. The Alternatives to Violence Project is designed to create successful personal interactions and use what is called in AVP "transforming power" to effect peaceful outcomes to violent situations. The same non-violent skills and techniques that were used by [[Mohandas Gandhi]] and [[Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr]] are used in AVP training.

Although AVP was founded by Quakers and based on their belief in peace and the inward light in everyone, AVP volunteers come all religions, races and walks of life. <ref> http://www.avpusa.org/</ref>
