Welcome! The PA Peace Alliance is a new resource supported by the PA Commission on Crime and Delinquency to help groups working to address violence in their communities.

Your one-stop-shop for all of your training and technical assistance (TTA) needs.

From connecting with others across the state to discussing lessons learned to requesting a
self-care training for frontline workers—it’s all right here!

Connect

The PA Peace Alliance members have a ton of knowledge and expertise, but often have limited opportunities to connect with each other. Here, you’ll find information, ask questions, and share information with all of the amazing member organizations. Beyond the Commonwealth,
members have access to subject matter experts, violence prevention and intervention professionals, and organizations throughout the country.

Learn

From news on evidence-based and promising practices, webinars on using data to tell your story, and links to the latest funding announcements, the Learning Portal provides the resources you need to further your work and build a one-of-a-kind statewide community of practice.

Build

Whether it’s capacity-building for your organization, creating new partnerships, or scaling new projects, here you’ll find opportunities for peer learning, cross-site collaboration, and support, as well as research and tools to help grow, expand, and innovate your work.

How we'll help

Community of Practice (COP)

While everyone needs help from time to time, often that help is closer than we think. The PA Peace Alliance, co-created by all of you, provides a space for Pennsylvania’s violence prevention and intervention professionals, from frontline workers to program administrators, to come together to share ideas, recommendations, and support.

Technical Assistance

Knowing that technical assistance can be both under- and overwhelming, all PA Peace Alliance members can request exactly the help they want. Need resources on sustainability planning? Interested in talking with a subject matter expert about conflict mediation? Ask! Requesting technical assistance is just a click away!

Ask An Expert

From the PA Peace Alliance members to PCCD staff to violence prevention professionals throughout the country, Ask an Expert provides the opportunity to answer your questions. Based on your interests, each month an “Expert” will hold virtual office hours. Members can join to ask questions or simply to listen.
