VTMF recently spent time with some earnest young men in the Youth Guidance Becoming a Man (BAM) program—a school-based group counseling program that guides young men in grades 7-12 to learn, internalize and practice social cognitive skills. We are proud supporters of their work in Boston, Cambridge and Somerville, where they address important core values including respect for womanhood, integrity, positive anger expression and more. We wish them a great summer! ☀️ https://lnkd.in/ed-xmcFf #VTMF #partnerships #BAMprogram #nonprofit Carol Vittorioso Kristen Dreyer Rebecca Ramirez-Abdella
About us
The Vanessa T. Marcotte Foundation was established in memory of Vanessa Marcotte, a 27 year-old woman taking life by storm, living in Manhattan, working her dream job at Google, but always finding time to give back to the community and spend time with her loved ones. Vanessa was tragically killed in August of 2016 by an act of violence while out on a walk near her family home. The Vanessa T. Marcotte Foundation envisions a world where women live free from harassment. We strive to achieve this goal through education and advocacy on safety awareness and gender equality. Since our establishment in 2017, we have funded grants that educate and mentor youth on challenging the gender stereotypes that often lead to objectification against women, and have educated thousands of girls and women on safety awareness and self-defense. We hope you'll join our fight for a world where women live boldly and fearlessly.
