Description: Maine Boys to Men delivers its eight year old evidence based Reducing Sexism and Violence Program (RSVP) to high school students across the state. RSVP is a high school youth driven program which empowers diverse student leaders to play a central role in reducing dating abuse, sexual assault, harassment, and interpersonal violence. In addition to gaining greater awareness, students learn specific bystander intervention techniques which allow them to safely intervene in potentially harmful situations. RSVP is delivered to a group of 30-40 male and female students during a series of four (3 hour) modules. Two faculty facilitators, one male and one female, also participate to support students during and after the training. Serves 14-18 year old high school students in Maine. Student learning opportunities: Program development, program evaluation, advocacy, community organizing, grant-writing, assessments, community education, group work.
