Through the Internship Program, Men Stopping Violence (MSV) identifies, educates and mentors the young men who will become the next generation of male allies in this movement. The MSV Internship Program prepares young men to become agents of social change in all areas of their lives, their communities, campuses, workplaces and faith groups. Graduates of the program have gone on to positions in organizations that work to end violence against women, while others have taken their training to faith communities, the military and other institutions.

The program provides mentors – male and female – whose responsibility it is to challenge and support young men while they do the hard work of self-examination and advocacy. This intense, two-part experience combines theory and practice. Interns participate in classes and discussion groups with other men and work on community projects that are designed to make their campuses and other institutions safer for women and girls.
