Description:
Through this 24-month project, The Circle Salt Spring Education Society will scale the Pass It On Boys program to strengthen the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention sector. It will scale to a new community addressing the need for initiatives that support boys through safe spaces and social-emotional learning (SEL). To do so, it will implement a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum, train and support local facilitators, and establish a sustainable program infrastructure with local leadership, partnerships, evaluation systems, and risk management. The Circle Salt Spring Education Society will document the scaling process and share insights to enable other organizations to implement or expand upon this promising practice in their communities.

Program Purpose:
The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
