In order to nurture some of our youth workers here in Rochester (including teachers and other school personnel), we are offering a special two day Kingian Nonviolence training with trainer Jonathan "Globe" Lewis, who works closely with Dr. Lafayette, on Thurs Feb 20-Friday Feb 21 (February recess week), 9-5 pm both days. The cost is just $25 to cover lunch and snacks. The training is free and will be held at the Rochester Friends Meeting on Scio St. (Thank you Friends!) Participants will receive a certificate of completion. To register contact Tammy at twoofgandhi@gmail.com. Below is more information on Jonathan.
Jonathan "Globe" Lewis, Founder & Executive Director,
is a Senior Level Kingian Nonviolence Trainer who started working with Dr. LaFayette in the early 1990s as a college student. He served on the International Global Conference Series from 2000-2004 as a youth representative. Jonathan has trained all over the United States and abroad, including in Mexico, Colombia, South Africa, Israel, and Nigeria. In 2008, while working for Harry Belafonte's the Gathering for Justice, where he served as National Director of Nonviolence Direct Action Training, he introduced over one thousand community leaders to the Kingian Nonviolence philosophy.
