Nonprofit Overview

Mission: The anti-violence partnership of philadelphia is a unique organization helping children and youth resolve conflict nonviolently, while assisting victims and their families to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of violence. Our mission is to end the cycle of violence in philadelphia through comprehensive and collaborative programs in local communities.
Programs: Founded in 1980, the anti-violence partnership of philadelphia is the only organization in philadelphia whose mission is to reduce the entire cycle of violence by providing intervention, prevention and support programs. Avp was founded 30 years ago as a support group for families who had lost a loved one to murder. Avp's original program, families of murder victims, quickly became a valuable support for co-victims of homicide by offering court accompaniment, advocacy and support. That program continues today. In addition, avp has additional victims' services out of our west/southwest victim services office and avp counseling center. We also provide prevention and trauma therapy services to school children in twelve philadelphia public schools. Today, avp is a unique organization helping people resolve conflict nonviolently, while assisting victims and their families to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of violence.
