About MyStrength

The MyStrength Club centers around the theme, "My Strength is Not for Hurting," emphasizing healthy relationships and empowering young men to maintain their strength and masculinity without using coercion, intimidation, force, or violence.  The MyStrength Club was based on a program developed by Men Can Stop Rape, in Washington D.C. www.mencanstoprape.org

A key purpose of the MyStrength Club is to raise awareness about sexual violence, dating violence, and domestic violence among youth by empowering young men ages 14-18 to understand their role in ending violence.  Young men at certain designated site areas can choose to participate in the MyStrength Club, which promotes education, empowerment and leadership development.  RCS/CMC staff hosts launch events throughout the year at local high school campuses to promote the Program.   

Currently, MyStrength Clubs are available at the following school sites in Fresno County:

            Mendota High School, Mendota Continuation,Tranquillity High School and Tranquillity High School Credit Recovery
