Prevention Education

MESA believes strongly that we must work to prevent sexual violence before it occurs. As a result, we offer a variety of programs to meet the needs of different populations.

• The Men Standing Up Program teaches male volunteers from the community to conduct presentations in schools and to the broader community to raise awareness about rape prevention. Studies show that that men and boys hear a message about ending sexual violence better from other males, making men’s involvement crucial in creating lasting social change.
• Elder Abuse Prevention is aimed at preventing domestic and sexual abuse later in life. Both of these crimes are drastically under-reported, yet people become highly vulnerable to such abuse as they age. By raising awareness about the issue, MESA strives to prevent such abuse by educating both elder care professionals and older citizens.
• The Peers Building Justice Program aims to empower high school Peer Educators by giving them the knowledge and opportunity to speak out against gender violence and oppression. Since 1996, Peer Educators have given presentations to more than 40,000 students in Boulder County. The program is a collaboration between Moving to End Sexual Assault and the Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence. Please visit the Peers Building Justice website. 

If you are interested in any of the above programs or would like a presentation at your school, business, organization or place of worship please contact Marti via email or by phone at 303-443-0400.
