What We Do

Our Programs

Working to end violence through unique experiential workshops rooted in a broader view of masculinity, empowering all people to notice and intervene in potentially harmful situations.

Transforming Lives Through Education & Mentorship

We offer programs for youth, youth-serving adults, new Mainers, fathers, and interested adults, as well as a program that will train you to bring our curricula to your community.

Program 01

Reducing Sexism & Violence Program (RSVP®)

One of the most comprehensive gender-based violence prevention programs in the nation.

We have over 25 years of experience helping youth reshape the way they think about masculinity, and engaging them in ending all forms of male violence and self-harm. RSVP® is a youth-informed curricula developed in partnership with the US Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women.

RSVP® has two workshop series: one for middle school boys and one for high school students of all genders.

Program 02

Maine Boys to Men Fellowship

A year-long mentorship experience for high school boys.

This fellowship develops a community of belonging for young men committed to disrupting the patterns of narrow masculinity in themselves and others, and the disconnection, self-harm, and violence it can create.

Through day-long programs, weekend retreats, and monthly zoom calls, 12-16 high school-aged boys spend a year together exploring connection, masculinity, identity, and power.

In response to greatly increased demand for our Reducing Sexism and Violence Program (RSVP®), we launched our Training Institute to share our knowledge with others who can in turn help us reach more youth.

Join over 300 adults who have been trained to bring RSVP® to their schools, youth organizations, alternative education programs, sports teams, and other settings where they work with youth.
