IMPACT Administrators' Toolkit

Men As Peacemakers

A 6-step guide to saftey & gender equity in sports.

This toolkit includes resources for Executive Directors, Club Presidents, Coaching Directors or other leaders of community athletic organizations. The resources included will teach your coaches to promote safety, respect, and gender equity with all players. This guide is meant to provide examples and a framework for the development of your organization’s policies and procedures. Our previous work with the Minnesota State High School League, Arrowhead Youth Soccer Association, Winona Youth Soccer Association, and other sports organizations, has taught us that every organization is unique. We encourage you to work with us directly to tailor your approach to your specific community of coaches and players. Contact Men As Peacemakers at info@menaspeacemakers.org or 218-727-1939 to get started.

Refuse to Abuse

Seattle Mariners (MLB) & Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence

The basics

Refuse To Abuse® is a statewide community education program that helps prevent domestic violence. The program is sponsored by the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Seattle Mariners, with significant assistance from the advertising firm Craters of the Moon. Television, radio, and print public service announcements have been produced featuring prominent Mariners players and managers, including Felix Hernandez, Jamie Moyer, Raul Ibañez, and Kyle Seager. An annual Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field draws Mariners fans, runners, walkers, and community supporters, giving a broad audience the chance to join the Mariners and “refuse to abuse.”

Purpose

Refuse To Abuse® aims to raise awareness and help prevent domestic violence. High profile athletes and recognized community leaders are speaking out against domestic violence and asking for a commitment from others in the community to join them.

Why the Mariners are involved

Few professional teams have chosen to take such a public stand against domestic violence. For the past 21 years the Seattle Mariners have done more than just talk about helping raise awareness about this issue, they have stood firm in their leadership role. Having credible, professional male athletes speak out on this issue helps send a powerful message to young people.

About the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV)

WSCADV is a non-profit network of nearly 70 community domestic violence programs. We improve how communities respond to domestic violence and work to create a social intolerance for abuse.
