The Circle Salt Spring Education Society

Published purpose

Through this 24-month project, The Circle Salt Spring Education Society will scale the Pass It On Boys program to strengthen the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention sector. It will scale to a new community addressing the need for initiatives that support boys through safe spaces and social-emotional learning (SEL). To do so, it will implement a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum, train and support local facilitators, and establish a sustainable program infrastructure with local leadership, partnerships, evaluation systems, and risk management. The Circle Salt Spring Education Society will document the scaling process and share insights to enable other organizations to implement or expand upon this promising practice in their communities. Supplemental funding in February 2026 will be used to hire a graphic recorder for focus groups to enhance participant engagement and evaluation findings.
