MVP Program History

The Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program, founded in 1993 by Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society, motivates young people to play a central role in solving problems that have historically been considered "women's issues:" rape, battering, and sexual harassment.

Until recently, few campus or community-based programs have encouraged young men to work actively on these issues. The MVP program motivates men and women to work together in preventing men's violence against women.
