Article here. Excerpt:

'The Rise Up Foundation held a graduation ceremony Wednesday evening at The Linc for 31 young men who completed the Healthy Masculinity Project, marking the first time the program has been offered as an all-boys class.

The program, developed in partnership with A Call to Men and Scholastic, is designed to challenge gender norms and promote respect, accountability and leadership in young men. Participants came from across Mid-Missouri, including Columbia, Moberly and Jefferson City.

Each graduate received a teal tie, the color representing sexual assault awareness, and a City of Jefferson proclamation recognized the program’s efforts in promoting leadership and violence prevention.'
