Countering Interpersonal Violence in Youth Sport: Bilingual Bystander Interventions

GV230299

$589,025.00

Oct 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026

Through this 30-month project, Black Buildup will develop and put in place the Coaching Boys Into Men (CBIM) bystander intervention promising practice to strengthen the GBV sector. It will address the behaviours and attitudes that lead to GBV among young men and women, with a focus on Francophile Black men and boys. To do so, the project will include delivering workshops and interventions to youth in sport, and engaging the community through parents, coaches, sport administrators, and spectators to be active partners. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice. Black Buildup will collect baseline data, develop a toolkit, and mobilize knowledge to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

Gender-Based Violence Program

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.
