More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
MCSR addresses the primary prevention of men's violence against women. We work nationally and internationally, with a dedicated focus to Washington, DC as well. We offer a media campaign, youth Men of Strength Clubs for teens, a campus affiliate college chapter program, technical assistance, ongoing training for professionals, and public education/speaking. Each year we honor one adult Man of Strength and now four youth MOST Club members at our Men of Strength Awards at the National Press Club.
Activities
We have launched Strong Moves, an initiative that brings the weekly Men of Strength Club to all sixteen public high schools in Washington, DC. We are going to be in every borough of New York City in Fall 2008. The MOST Club network continues to grow.
