The Metta Mentors program pairs students of nonviolence with local partner organizations for practical, social change work, while offering regular guidance from Metta in order to help participants learn about the principles of nonviolence and its effective application to social change work as well as daily life.

Four days a week, participants will work with a local social change organization to address specific issues such as militarism, youth empowerment, immigrant rights, etc.

Every Friday mentees will come together under the guidance of the Metta Center to participate in forums and workshops that explore how to integrate nonviolence into social change work and daily life.

In short, Metta Mentors is an immersion program in applied nonviolence.
