This spring, the non-profit organization Men Can Stop Rape (MCSR), Inc. seeks 4-6 male UMBC students to serve as Men Of Strength (MOST) Club Facilitators to work with young men regarding "attitudes and awareness about bullying and sexual harassment, healthy relationships, and masculinity." MCSR is working with 2-3 sites in East Baltimore,which includes the Carmelo Anthony Rec Center. The hope is to recruit two males to co-facilitate these sessions.  Before the holiday break, MCSR hosted an Info Session to share more about this program. 

In order to become a facilitator, you must complete a 1½ day training, and are expected to implement the curriculum each week (@ 2-3 hours/week to include the time for travel). Sessions would take place this spring after school and would be during the week.  MOST facilitators would have the ability to be enrolled in the 096 Community Service & Learning practicum through the Shriver Center, a zero-credit transcript notation for participating in this service-learning opportunity.  

Next Friday, 2/8 (1-5pm) and Saturday, 2/9 (9am-4pm), Rhett Walker, MCSR Campus Training Coordinator, and his colleague Jason Page, will lead the training sessions. RSVP to Lori Hardesty, Assistant Director, Service-Learning, K-16 Partnerships at lhardesty@umbc.edu.  After you RSVP, you will receive confirmation on location, any preparation needed for the training, etc.

If you are not sure that you can facilitate the MOST Clubs this spring, you should still consider participating in the 2/8-9 training in preparation for future MSCR opportunities.  UMBC also supports several initiatives that promote healthy relationships, to include Rebuilding Manhood, in its second semester through UMBC's Women's Center.  Please read a few BreakingGround posts from:
