The Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) Program, founded in 1993, is a leadership program that motivates student-athletes and student leaders to play a central role in solving problems that historically have been considered "women's issues": rape, battering, and sexual harassment.

The four main goals of the MVP Program are to:

• Raise Awareness of participants about the level of men's verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse of women.
• Challenge Thinking by countering mainstream messages about gender, sex and violence.
• Open Dialogue by creating a safe environment for men and women to share their opinions and experiences.
• Inspire Leadership by empowering participants with concrete opinions to effect change in their respective communities.
