About Us
The Healthy Intergenerational Masculinity (HIM) Initiative is a grant funded project born from the dreams and aspirations of a coalition of community partners who are committed to cultivating more healthy embodiments of masculinity, opportunities for school and community-based intervention work, and men’s engagement. Centering a cross-sector approach to accountability work, systems change, and gender justice, the HIM Initiative is presently led by Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse, Goodwill Youth Reengagement Center, and Boys to Men Tucson.
Mission & Vision
The HIM Initiative aims to amplify the resources and supports available for masculine identified BIPOC youth and men in Tucson & Southern Arizona. It is the vision of the HIM Initiative and its community partners to reverse the destructive effects of toxic masculinity by transforming the policies and systems that harm these boys and creating new pathways for intergenerational accountability and healing work.
