| We are committed to providing all men with a safe space for growth, sharing, connection, and community building with other men. We are committed to challenging and promoting an understanding of interpersonal and institutional violence, sexism, homophobia, racism and other forms of oppression, and to promoting and supporting healing and empowerment for all people. Toward this end, we strongly support the insights and social changes the civil rights movement, feminism, and the gay liberation movement have stimulated for both women and men.
As members of a community, the Monadnock Men's Resource Center is guided by, and we strive to have our actions reflect, the following core values. They influence our conduct individually and as an organization.
- We are male positive, pro-feminist, anti-racist and gay affirmative.
- We encourage and strive alongside other men toward our personal growth, healing, and inner work as a way of fostering healthy models and contributing to better relationships with self, others and the community.
- We support and reflect the values of equality, diversity, nonviolence, healthy spiritual connectedness and ecological soundness.
- We promote men's leadership and work as allies with others in challenging all forms of oppression in our lives, our families and our communities.
- We are a visible and inspiring presence through our service in the community.
