New Visions of Manhood
A Publication of the Men's Resource Center for Change
The quarterly magazine of the Men's Resource Center for Change (MRC), VOICE MALE, is a unique voice chronicling the social transformation of masculinity. It's male positive, pro-feminist, gay-affirmative, anti-racist approach, invites a range of voices promoting healthy manhood and challenging violence. Columns on fathering, youth, men of color, men who have survived abuse or neglect, gay/bisexual and questioning men, and men's health, are augmented by feature stories on a range of topics from male violence in sports to pornography's manipulation of men; from how men cope with losing their fathers to how women and men can work together for social justice and gender reconciliation.
"I never get any work done when VOICE MALE arrives in the mail. VOICE MALE brings me life, hope and inspiration. Toiling away in the daunting work of redefining masculinity, VOICE MALE lets me know that, yes, I do have brothers and sisters who are raising our sons into men who are not emotionally and spiritually crippled by the rigid and destructive old 'tough guise' of masculinity. Amen for VOICE MALE and the richly male voices that burst from its pages."
--Joe Kelly, Founder, Dads & Daughters; Publisher, Daughters: For Parents of Girls.

The Men's Resource Center for Change (MRC) currently offers a variety of drop-in support groups. These groups are based on a simple premise: men need a safe place to talk honestly about their lives. By inviting men to "drop-in" without requiring an ongoing commitment, the groups remain open and accessible. Trained caring volunteer facilitators lead all of the support groups. While there is no fee, donations are requested. more information
