At Compassionate Communication Center of Ohio, we envision a world where people are connecting across differences and resolving conflict nonviolently and collaboratively - not through the use of violence, force or coercion, but instead by connecting with our common humanity and engaging our compassionate nature.

A world, where people find creative and interactive ways to transform their conflicts through a process of communication that connects us across differences in gender, age, race, sexual orientation, religion and political beliefs. A world where peace, mutual respect and compassionate relationships are the norm.

· Offers life-enriching tools to create an environment where people use communication to exchange the information necessary to resolve their differences peacefully.

· Emphasizes emotional intelligence over intellectual analysis by providing a life-changing way of interacting that facilitates the flow of communication with a focus on universal human needs by employing emotional intelligence in expressing what’s going on in people.

· Raises the bar for communication by relying on objective observations rather than evaluations.

· Avoids making people defend themselves from value-laden judgments by employing clear requests in place of demands.

· Allows everyone to get their needs met on their own terms without coercion, fear of retribution, or loss of self-esteem.

Helping others. Tough to do in these hectic times.

Though even small acts of kindness are of enormous benefit, both to others as well as ourselves. 

CCCO offers short term, one off, project based volunteering opportunities. These could help you find friends, learn new skills, advance your career, and even improve your mental and physical health! Science shows helping others not only benefits the people who we help, but it also can reduce our own stress, combat depression, keep us mentally stimulated, and provide a deep sense of purpose. 

You decide what, where and when you help. 

Here are just a few of the areas we could use your help - at whatever level, time period and skill level that is you.

  • Google Drive/Apps "Guru" to teach us how to simplify our work in the cloud 

  • Grant Research/Writers to help us pull in resources to serve NVC peace building in our community 

  • Folks who want to learn NVC and go on to help facilitate practice groups 

  • Support for in-person events
