MVP Game Change Program The "MVP Game Change Program" is a relationship and sexual violence prevention program. Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots have partnered with Attorney General Maura Healey to donate over $500,000 to schools across the state to train teachers and coaches in preventing violence, including our own Andy Bell, and Chelsea Barnicle. Our students experience many challenges related to violence towards women and within relationships. We are hoping to provide the knowledge and skills needed for our students to take a stand against all violence. The Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) Program, created at Northeastern University, is a leadership program focused on preventing all forms of gender based violence, especially men’s violence against women. MVP is the premier program in the country working with athletic groups on these issues. The MVP Program is the first large-scale attempt to enlist high school, collegiate and professional athletes in the fight against gender based, relationship and sexual violence. The primary goals of the MVP program are to: • • • • •
