Nonviolence Training Facilitator Agreement

Thank you for your willingness to be an FOR Facilitator in the From Violence to Wholeness program. In order to provide professional and consistent programs, F.O.R. has set expectations for Facilitators:

F.O.R. Expectations of Facilitators

1. They attended Facilitator training and will faithfully present the FOR-FVTW program in terms of:
   o Process (elicitive)
   o Content (violence, nonviolence, social change, community building, & action planning)
   o Media variety
   o Time required in a series or long weekend (est. 20 contact hours, without meals & long breaks)
   o Resources for trainees (the FVTW manual and FOR Facilitator materials)
   o Co-Facilitation
2. They are committed to active nonviolence, are FOR members and encourage others to join.
3. They appropriately credit Pace e Bene and FOR:
   *FOR’s nonviolence training is by permission, and an adaptation of, From Violence to Wholeness by Ken Butigan and the Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service.
4. They seek opportunities to conduct FVTW training, but may have others organize training.
5. They inform FOR of trainings and afterward send the Organizer’s $100.00 donation and copies of evaluations to F.O.R. c/o Nonviolence Training, Box 271 (521 N. Broadway) Nyack, NY 10960, within a reasonable time.
6. They handle all financial and other training arrangements with the Organizer.

F.O.R. will arrange or provide:

1. Ongoing program consultation, support, networking, training of more Facilitators
2. Training packets with basic training and FOR materials, including membership forms @$2.00
3. FVTW manuals @ $20.00
4. Referrals for training
5. Sample forms to use with Organizers
6. Advertising (web, email alerts, FOR local groups, Religious Peace Fellowships, print mail, etc.)

Guidelines for Facilitator Compensation
In the interest of justice and building community among Facilitators, FOR strongly recommends that all Facilitators advocate that they be compensated in one of two ways: (1) Some Facilitators will work with a sponsoring organization that subsidizes and promotes training and provides services, materials, and continuing education; these Facilitators may agree to provide their services for free. (2) Other Facilitators should request a stipend of $450 each, over and above the costs of their housing, travel and meals. If they wish to donate it, that is their personal choice. Facilitators have invested time and money to become trained, and they prepare and set aside time to deliver the training. FOR and organizers must appropriately acknowledge the contribution Facilitators make to the work of peace.

If you agree to these expectations, please sign, date and mail this form to F.O.R. at Box 271, Nyack, New York, 10960.
