Host a House Party!

Thanks for your interest in hosting a house party for NP! It's one of the best and easiest ways you can support the work Nonviolent Peaceforce does internationally — by raising awareness and funding in your own community.

What is a House Party?

A house party is an event, usually in a home, where people come together to learn about an organization. As the host, you’ll share your experience of Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) with your friends, family, and neighbors. You might include information about how you heard about NP and why you support it. Your guests will be given the opportunity to donate and get more involved with Nonviolent Peaceforce.
