Education
MESA believes strongly that we must work to prevent
sexual violence before it occurs. As a result, we offer
four programs to meet the needs of different populations.
- The Men’s
Prevention Education Program provides adult male volunteers
to conduct presentations
in schools
and the
broader community to raise awareness about rape
prevention.
- Elder Abuse Prevention is aimed
at preventing domestic and sexual abuse later in life.
- The Peers Building Justice Program trains high school students to become Peer Educators
in
local middle school and high
schools on the topics of sexual assault,
sexual harassment, dating abuse, and other forms of oppression.

- Our Community
Education Program provides presentations to any community

group, ages teen through
adult, on issues related to understanding
and preventing sexual
violence.
