While workshops are free, participants have the opportunity to make a donation to help support One Light’s mission of preparing people to avoid, face, or heal from physical violence.

Occasionally, host organizations prefer to make a donation on behalf of the participants.

100% of donations go to victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, rape, molestation, or incest.

Here Is What We Do:

• Offer a team proportionate to the number of registered participants
