" Be the change you wish to see in the world. "

- Mahatma Gandhi

What is Men for Change?

• Each spring, men and men's groups contribute $100 each.
• Anyone can contribute $100 in honor or memory of a man who exemplifies the spirit of the Campaign.
• They collectively support CVAN's services for battered women and their children.
• Everyone is listed in a full-page newspaper Ad on Father's Day.
• Men are taking a public stand against domestic violence.

In 2026, we had an incredible 1,070 men and men’s groups come together as Men for Change! Many thanks to all who are taking a stand and supporting our program!
