Our Groups
Join the Volunteer Community
Our facilitators are the heart and soul of AVP Ireland. They come from all kinds of backgrounds, bringing their unique experiences and perspectives to AVP workshops. Thanks to their commitment and dedication, AVP workshops become meaningful experiences that inspire positive change and build community. Our facilitators are trained individuals, comprising both prison-based volunteers as well as outside volunteers who work together to create a unique space that gives participants the opportunity to build skills in communication, conflict resolution, and personal growth.
