You asked, we listened.

Dozens of men representing a wide variety of organizations expressed the need for more in-depth training on domestic and sexual violence prevention strategies, as well as the desire to work collaboratively with other community partners on this issue.

The Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh–in partnership with the FISA Foundation and the Heinz Endowments–is pleased to offer Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP), a leadership training program for men committed to integrating domestic and sexual violence prevention strategies into their organizations’ work.
