Welcome to the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding

RPCP offers programs and services with the goal of preventing, decreasing and healing from violence in all its many forms in our community.

We believe that communities will benefit from an entity whose primary function is to focalize, coordinate and champion the implementation of resources relevant to peacebuilding and sustainability.

We envision a community where it is the cultural norm that every individual has their basic needs met; where peace education is offered to every child; where cooperation is a way of life; where the community embodies and expresses the shared values that build a safe, healthy & thriving community.

A New Paradigm for Peacebuilding

Sustainable peacebuilding requires a new way of thinking, relating and taking action in our community, our society, our world. We must find ways to shift our conversations and our strategies from reacting to problems to creating the outcomes we envision - a solutions-oriented approach.
