The Adolescent Male Outreach Project helps male youth learn, incorporate, and share behaviors and skills that prevent and reduce interpersonal violence. This youth-directed program avoids the 'cookie cutter' approach of many prevention programs, instead relying on each of its peer participants to create outreach and education, based on what he believes will be the most effective within his individual peer group.
KCSARC hosts educational and informational meetings for faith community leaders and others interested in enhancing their knowledge and skills related preventing sexual abuse. Meetings provide professional resources and explore options and opportunities for leaders to address responsible prevention efforts within the context of their faith communities. Participants share ideas on how to recognize high-risk behaviors, ways to hold offenders accountable and methods to increase the awareness of all faith community members. Meetings are on the fourth Thursday of each month from 10-12.
