Coaching Boys Into Men (CBIM) is an evidence-based program that equips athletic coaches with the tools to promote respectful behavior among young male athletes. The program aims to prevent relationship abuse, harassment, and sexual assault by teaching athletes the importance of respect, teamwork, and integrity.
CBIM was developed by Futures Without Violence and has been implemented worldwide, including in schools, sports teams, and community organizations.
Why is CBIM Important?
Coaches hold a powerful role in shaping young athletes’ character both on and off the field. Through CBIM, coaches can use their influence to reinforce positive behaviors, promote healthy relationships, and help prevent gender-based violence. Research shows that athletes who participate in CBIM demonstrate increased recognition of abusive behaviors and greater willingness to intervene when they witness harm.
CBIM's Impact
Since its launch, CBIM has helped shape thousands of young athletes into leaders who stand against violence and harassment. The program has been successfully implemented in schools, community sports leagues, and professional athletic organizations worldwide. In 2024, CBIM training expanded to East Africa, reaching over 370,000 adolescents and young people.
