men as allies
The Men As Allies Program engages men as leaders and role models in preventing domestic and sexual violence through the Call to Action Team and provides youth violence prevention programs to schools and community organizations, including Coaching Boys into Men and LIVERESPECT: Coaching Healthy and Respectful Manhood.
Join the Call To Action Team!
The role of this men’s team is to promote men’s leadership in the lives of men in Ottawa County and to encourage men and boys to contribute positively to healthy relationships and a safe community.
Call To Action Team Mission
Our mission is to engage men as role models and leaders in ending sexual and domestic violence. We do this by reframing manhood to:
1) Embrace healthy and respectful behavior.
2) Prevent interpersonal violence and discrimination.
3) Help strengthen the community of West Michigan.
