Steve Angell talks (Kennet Square, PA 2002) about the early beginnings of AVP, including before it was "AVP", the decision to incorporate, Steve's realization that the workshops were for everyone, the value of volunteerism, the value of having inmate facilitators and their value to AVP, and migration of AVP into other countries.

Lorig Charkoudian, Ph.D. shares her personal journey into AVP and how that has impacted her life. Starting with her first workshop in Pomona, California and continuing into her work with Community Mediation Maryland, she smiles, reflecting back on Karen Cauble's contribution.
