Campus Men of Strength Club

MCSR’s Campus Men of Strength (MOST) Clubs engage college and university men in preventing violence against women, developing and supporting healthy masculinity, and sustainably organizing to create campuses and cultures free from violence.

Campus MOST Club supports campus student groups, faculty and staff on college campuses, and men and women who are working to end violence against women.

We provide training, organizing tools, and technical assistance based on our experience of more than 25 years as a national leader in the prevention of men’s violence against women. 

Members of our chapters examine and challenge masculinity as it relates to themselves and society, rejecting harmful aspects of traditional masculinity in favor of individual masculinities that affirm their unique realities and experiences. This positions them to create healthier, safer, and ultimately happier lives for themselves and the men and women they care about.

Members also take this knowledge and apply it throughout their campuses and communities in many ways, including:

• Mentoring and role modeling healthy masculinity

• Partnering with campus and community women’s groups

• Conducting peer education

• Sponsoring social and educational events

• Engaging in activism

• Exploring the many ways men can be allies of women and girls
