About Metta Mentors
Nurturing the seed of principled nonviolence in rising social change makers, Metta Mentors is the nonviolence mentorship program of the Metta Center for Nonviolence.
The program pairs students of nonviolence with local partner organizations for practical, social change work, while offering regular guidance from Metta in order to help participants learn about the principles of nonviolence and its effective application to social change work as well as daily life.
Four days a week, participants will work with a local social change organization to do concrete work on a whole range of specific social issues such as militarism, youth empowerment, immigrant rights, etc. Every Friday mentees come together under the guidance of the Metta Center to participate in forums and workshops that explore how to integrate nonviolence into social change work and daily life.
In short, Metta Mentors is an immersion program in applied nonviolence.
