About the Institute


  • Our mission is to teach by word and example the principles and practice of nonviolence, and to foster a community that addresses potentially violent situations with nonviolent solutions.

    We operate the "Nonviolence Streetworkers" - an acclaimed intervention and outreach program; we teach nonviolence in the schools; and we train adults and youth in nonviolence through our "train the trainer" programs.

Statement of Mayor David N. Cicilline

"Today we lost a great hero in our community with the tragic death of David J. Cartagena. David was a dedicated Streetworker with the Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence who focused relentlessly on improving the lives of young people in Providence. His leadership skills, dedication and profound commitment to the youth of our city served as an inspiration for all of us. On behalf of the residents of Providence, I am extremely grateful for his service to our community. Our thoughts and prayers are with his entire family during this difficult time."
