We teach NVC in so many different ways.  We’re able to incorporate everyone’s level of skill into any length training, so we can work with those who have no knowledge of NVC, as well as those with NVC or other empathy training experience. We would savor the opportunity to share with you how NVCnextgen can help your organization.


1. Nonviolent CommunicationSM at the Universities —
We believe that teaching the teachers is a fundamental aspect of bringing this set of powerful Nonviolent Communication (NVC) tools for cultivating social and emotional learning in our youth.

We have guest lectured, and continue to guest lecture, at University of Hawaii, on both Manoa and Maui campuses, to undergraduate students in the Colleges of Education and Curriculum Studies. We are developing a course offering for University students.

Please contact us for more information about hosting our funded Certified Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) Trainers to guest lecture in your University course.

2. NVC in Maui Schools–
We have a curriculum that is adaptable for any ages of youth from K-Grade 12, and we have trained practitioners that love teaching kids the fun awareness that Nonviolent Communication can bring to our social and educational interactions.

We are currently in the process of establishing a Hawaii DOE PD credits course for existing teachers, so that they can gain the benefits of learning NVC skills and strategies, while increasing their earning potential.  We will update this site with information once the class has been integrated into Hawaii DOE’s PD Credit online system, PDE3.

If you are a Hawaii DOE or Maui private school administrator and would like to sponsor an NVC training course, or bring some introductory NVC classes to your school, please inquire at info@nvcnextgen.org.
