We help people to peacefully and effectively resolve conflicts in personal, organizational, and political settings. As a nonprofit organization with projects around the world, we were founded by international peacemaker, Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D., author of the best selling book, "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life." Certified Trainers are not employees of CNVC but independent professionals who sign an annual agreement. They help to sustain the global impact of the CNVC through the work they do, the donations they make to the CNVC, and the support and accountability they maintain for each other at the highest standards established by Marshall Rosenberg.

Mindful Schools empowers educators to spark systemic change from the inside out by cultivating awareness, resilience, and compassionate action. Our vision is for all children to learn in “mindful schools” that nurture a new generation of leaders to create a more equitable and thriving world. Mindful Schools is a non-profit organization founded in 2007. We are proud to be a partner of choice for over 500 schools across the country. We’ve trained over 70,000 educators through professional development training, community resources and events, and most recently, national schoolwide mindfulness programs. Our programs are all designed by educators, for educators, with educators with deep experience bringing mindfulness to schools with an equity-centered, trauma-sensitive approach. With an expanding network of educators working to implement mindfulness, and an unwavering commitment to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work, we are uniquely poised to cultivate joyful and just learning communities, no matter what the future holds.
