Bringing men together to stand against domestic violence.
Domestic violence is a community-wide issue that needs a community-wide solution. As parents, influencers, mentors, and peers, men have an important and valued role in violence prevention. Together, we will see Hubbard House’s vision: “Every Relationship Violence-Free.”
Hubbard House supports and uplifts men in these roles through opportunities to educate and engage with this mission. Men, we are here to support you as you make a positive impact!
The “Not My City” program is a partnership between Hubbard House, the City of Jacksonville’s Kid’s Hope Alliance, and Northeast Florida Healthy Start Coalition’s Fatherhood P.R.I.D.E. It’s an educational program equips men and boys with tools to support violence prevention in their everyday lives.
From exploring how to uplift and connect with peers to supporting healthy boundaries in our daughters to instilling our sons with empathy and respect- Hubbard House works to educate men and boys on practical options for positive action.
Not My City engages men as peers to men by exploring how men can be positive friends, family, and colleagues. This track includes discussions on the language men use, coping with stress, navigating peer conversations, and much more.
Not My Son helps men understand the experience of our sons through the lens of violence prevention. This track instills tools for supporting positive emotional expression and navigating conversations about boundaries and consent.
Not My Daughter educates men who are fathers of daughters on opportunities to protect against violence in healthy ways. This track supports self-esteem building and how to discuss challenging topics like how women are portrayed in media.
Not My Friend uplifts that violence prevention starts at a young age. This track develops skills in middle and high school boys for how to safely challenge the negative statements of peers and what it means to support violence prevention.
Men Against Violence Against Women® is a volunteer-based organization of men who want to put an end to violence against women. Since 2000, as an official auxiliary organization of Hubbard House, MAVAW has gathered men to stand up for a safer future.
To join us in this important work, we invite you to take the pledge:
I agree to remain violence-free in all my relationships.
I agree never to commit, condone, or remain silent about domestic violence.
I pledge to stand with other men in our community to work towards eradicating domestic violence in all its forms by educating myself and raising awareness in the community.
