MEN OF STRENGTH CLUB TRAINING

Center for Education on Violence Against Women, DC

 

If your agency is serious about starting a program for middle school and
high school males to prevent sexual assault/dating violence, this is the
training to sign up for. Participants will learn the necessary steps for
establishing a successful Men of Strength Club (or MOST Club) as well as
effective ways of engaging male youth.

 

Identified by the CDC as one of the top four gender violence prevention
programs in the country, MOST Club has been implemented in the entire DC
public school system as well as sites in FL, MD, MO, NYC, NC, OH, and
SC. MOST Club encourages young men to explore the connections between
unhealthy masculinity and violence against women, define their own
nonviolent vision of masculinity, and create healthy, equitable
relationships. 

 

This training requires an application process. For more info and to
apply, please visit http://www.mencanstoprape.org. Deadlines for
applications are Dec 30. Contact Neil Irvin with questions at
202/534-1837 or
