The Westchester Martin Luther King, Jr. Institute for Nonviolence

Welcome to the website of the Westchester Martin Luther King, Jr. Institute for Nonviolence. 

Founded in 1987, the Institute's weaves into the larger movement for social justice by creating safe spaces for people to think and talk about violence, nonviolence, reconciliation, and joining together to change the way power and resources are distributed in our society. 

With Dr. King’s vision, principles, and activism as a foundation, we educate youth and adults about the power of nonviolent social action to empower ourselves as individuals and as members of communities and the larger society.
