Ashland Center for Nonviolence

Ashland Center for Nonviolence We seek a world in which human conflict at all levels can be resolved without resorting to violence and in which social justice can be realized.

at Ashland University began as an informal group of individuals who wanted to challenge the willingness of American society to resort to violence. As an organization, the ACN strives to offer programs and speakers which challenge our willingness to resort to violence, present alternatives to violence and inspire us to consider new perspectives and approaches. All programs are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
