“You provided the students with such rich information and clearly motivated students to think about their personal responsibility and ability to take actions that benefit their peers as well as themselves…We are so fortunate to have had opportunities to work with you and experience your incredible commitment to and deep insight into violence prevention. Each of you is such an inspiration and wonderful role model for the members of our community.”
Janet Epstein, Associate Director
Syracuse University’s Advocacy Center
MVP has delivered keynote presentations for a wide range of organizations including the US Military, professional conferences on gender violence and for campus -based programming. These large group presentations are engaging, multi-media sessions that incorporate videos and interactive dialogue to challenge audiences to confront sexist abuse and explore what it takes to become an empowered bystander: someone who witnesses potentially harmful behavior and takes action that has the potential to lead to a positive outcome.
Participants leave these presentations with ideas about how they can respond to difficult situations and with information about the numerous organizational/campus opportunities for further discussion about interpersonal violence prevention.
