The AVP Basic Workshop (postponed from June) now will take place July 12-13 2014 in eighteen hours at the Railroad Street Youth Project, 60 Bridge Street, Great Barrington, MA 01230. The participants will be mainly Tricorner youth aged 14-25. People over 25 also may apply to Will Syldor-Severino, RSYP Coordinator (www.rsyp.org or 413-528-2475 ext. 900). Those completing the "Basic Workshop" will receive a signed official AVP Certificate.
This will be the second AVP Workshop for RSYP, which has set a goal of five to eight AVP Certified Facilitators for the Tricor- ner area by 2015. These trainees will take the Basic, Advanced and Training of Facilitator workshops from AVP, then complete their Apprenticeship under experienced AVP Facilitators in order to receive an official AVP Facilitator Certificate.
