What We Do

We engage communities to shift attitudes and actions to end male violence against self and others.
Boys and men are bombarded by narrow, confusing, and often destructive messages about what masculinity is and isn't, contributing to a culture of self-harm, disrespect, and violence against others. Our unique set of experiential workshops, rooted in a broader view of masculinity, empowers all people to notice and intervene in potentially harmful situations long before they become violent. 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 work to your community.

Our youth-focused Reducing Sexism & Violence Program (RSVP) will be offered July 26–28 at the STARS Learning Cooperative. Visit their site to read more and sign up. Want to bring RSVP to your school or group? Read more here or contact us.

Educators and Coaches Training is being offered in July and September with one-day, in-person sessions in Portland. Modern Masculinity Training Institute, our train-the-trainer program, will be offered in person in August in Hallowell to Maine residents.

Men Connect for New Mainers and Men Connect have in-person and online dates scheduled for the summer.

Generations of Change: Fatherhood Training will be offered soon--sign up and you will be among the first to learn of the next scheduled workshops.
