CPT regional groups are built around a core of trained CPTers and CPT supporters that work to reduce violence both in their local regions and by supporting or serving on already-established CPT projects.
Regional groups engage in a variety of activities: nonviolent direct actions, organizing speaking tours, lobbying government officials, and serving on CPT projects. They can function as a spiritual support community for people doing a lot of peace organizing.
If at least ten people from a region apply to train for the CPT Peacemaker Corps, CPT will work with that group to plan a regional training. Information on the process to apply for the Peacemaker Corps can be found here.
