AMEND Together
Our mission is to make Northwest Ohio safer for women and girls.
AMEND Together is a primary prevention initiative dedicated to ending violence against women and girls by engaging men and boys to become a part of the solution. AMEND seeks to challenge the culture that supports violence, cultivate healthy masculinity, and change the future for women and girls.
AMEND Together provides clubs for Toledo Public School students in grades 6-12. Our clubs create a safe space for boys to develop socially and emotionally, build positive relationships, learn about healthy masculinity, participate in service projects, events, and field trips, and receive mentorship and guidance while navigating their journey into manhood.
AMEND TOGETHER CLUBS HELP IMPROVE:
School Climate and Culture, Parent Engagement, Character, Behavior, Attitude, Academic Performance, School Attendance, Leadership, Peer-to-Peer, and Personal Relationships.
