The River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding takes the approach of addressing conflict and violence with a continuum of prevention, intervention and restorative strategies involving youth and adult populations, including those healing from the otherwise lasting impact of trauma.

Join us for one of the most fun fundraising days of the year! The Amazing Give is a wonderful gift to our County’s Non-Profit organizations! We each have a donation page that explains our work and folks are invited to make a contribution to the org of their choice. While it may seem like a competition, it is truly a unique way to fund necessary work so that resources can be allocated in the right direction. We have received the benefit in the past and it has made a tremendous difference! We thank the Junior League of Gainesville for hosting this great event!
