New Jersey Men of Courage Network
Men and boys helping build a safer New Jersey
The NJ Men of Courage Network engages men and boys as allies in preventing domestic and gender-based violence through conversation, leadership, mentorship, healing and community action.
Our mission
The network works to transform male culture into one that includes the full range of men’s experiences and challenges ideas of masculinity that devalue women and marginalized groups. Its work supports healthy relationships, accountability, family well-being and stronger communities throughout New Jersey.
Five core values
