OUR FEE is A SLIDING SCALE, RANGING FROM ZERO DOLLARS - THIRTY DOLLARS PER CLASS and is PAID BY PARTICIPANTS BASED ON HIS ABIITY to PAY. POCOVI is A Peer Education Collective of Men Who Are Actively Changing Their Masculine Identities, Male-beliefs and Their Violent Behavior Patterns. In A Supportive and Cooperative Environment, Men Explore The Bases of That Violent Identity and Helps Them to Understand How They Have Learned to Move Away From Their "Real IX and Base Their Self Worth, Character and Personality On An Aggressive Cultural Stereotype. When Men Accept Responsibility for Adopting This Stereotype and for Their Violence, They Can Examine The Consequences of Their Violence On Their Partners, Children, Community and Themselves, and Become Motivated to Stop Their Violence.
