Nonviolence Initiatives

Nonviolent Skill Training Hubs

The University of San Francisco joins Georgetown University and Boston College as a Nonviolent Skill Training Hub.  A project of the Catholic Nonviolence Initiative through Pax Christi International, these Catholic universities have committed to advancing Gospel nonviolence through 2-3 trainings each year. The goal of the training hubs is to cultivate skills for Active Nonviolence in the university and surrounding community.  

Daniel Greenberg Fellow for Interfaith Nonviolence

A partnership between the Lane Center and Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice, the Daniel Greenberg Fellowship in Interfaith Nonviolence supports the USF Interfaith Nonviolence Initiative, an ongoing university-wide initiative investigating communal violence and trauma, and the redemptive power and healing processes of nonviolence, through community-engaged scholarship and transformative interfaith dialogue among diverse participants, religious and secular, at USF and among clergy and members of grassroots community organizations.  The fellowship honors the blessed memory and continued legacy of Daniel Greenberg, an inspirational fighter for radical nonviolence across faith traditions.
