Engage, Empower, and Inspire
Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP)
By empowering participants through our unique bystander approach to prevention, MVP enables communities to stand up against all forms of gender-based violence and challenges participants to understand and embrace their roles as leaders when faced with these issues.
Addressing Hate in School Sports
The Center’s newest curriculum, Addressing Hate in High School Sports, is designed to help superintendents, school administrators, coaches and other leadership staff and students address and prevent the burgeoning proliferation of hate and bias in school sports. In keeping with our facilitated pedagogy of other flagship curriculum in which we create a pathway to both bystander empowerment and a community of positive practice, Addressing Hate in High School Sports affords participants both the sanctity of environ and the skill sets requisite to identify, disrupt, and confront incidents of discrimination, interpersonal violence, and toxic speech.
Forums and Workshops
In an effort to constantly respond to societal trends and the current social justice climate, we develop annual workshops and forums addressing specific topics pertinent to our local and national communities.
Toxic Speech Prevention (TSP)
By engaging participants specifically in the threat of language that encourages factional or genocidal behavior, TSP enables participants to distinguish and discuss the differences between playful, derogatory, and toxic speech in order to prevent the linguistic realities that have led to ethnic, political, and religious genocides in the past.
Don’t Hate the Player (DHP)
DHP harnesses the immense influence of sport to actively confront biases and address the deep-seated institutionalization of racism and discrimination that exists in all societies.
