I recently reached out to the Canadian Center for Men & Families asking what I could do in my community to make a difference for male victims of domestic/intimate partner violence. I received this response:

"Thank you for your initiative. I would recommend that you work with us to start a CCMF in your community. A CCMF may be as simple as a men's support group for IPV. If that interests you, the first step we ask of potential branch leaders is to identify at least one other committed volunteer."

And uhhhhh... holy shit what do I do. Should I go for it? Should I try to find a man to take the branch leader position and, as a woman, just be the volunteer? I identified myself as a woman when I sent the original email. How do I find a volunteer? I am feeling overwhelmed lol Help!

ETA: I think I might have a volunteer? I have to meet with him in a couple weeks
