About NONVIOLENT PEACEFORCE

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is an international nongovernmental organization that implements Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP) to reduce violence, protect civilians, and strengthen local peace capacities in conflict-affected areas. Founded as a U.S. 501(c)(3) entity with a U.S. office in the Minneapolis area, NP deploys trained, unarmed civilian teams in partnership with local organizations and communities to provide protective presence, monitoring, capacity-building, early warning/response, and accompaniment. In recent years NP has combined field deployments in multiple conflict contexts with advocacy and pilot community-safety initiatives inside the United States, working with local partners to adapt UCP methods for community-led safety, youth engagement, and trauma-informed support. The organization maintains formal engagement with international institutions and continues to expand evidence-informed programming and training for local actors and allied organizations.
