Description:
This 29-month project will develop and implement a mentorship program for boys and young men to address the root causes of gender-based violence. The Circle Salt Spring Education Society will achieve this by designing, implementing, and evaluating peer-mentorship, community mentor, and experiences-with-elders models to help boys and young men prevent and address gender-based violence in their communities.
At the end of the project, the organization will have developed a promising practice that will engage men and boys to combat harmful gender norms, advance gender equality, and increase networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change.
This project will involve annual multimedia storytelling activities to record and measure themes, topics, and core principles. A formalized curriculum will be developed to sustain the impact of the project model.
Supplemental funding in January 2024 will be used to offset unexpected costs for insurance, facilities and communications.

Program:
Gender-Based Violence Program
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.
