Our city, Washington D.C., is experiencing an epidemic of youth violence and gun violence. While many programs in the city provide direct services or violence interruption, currently, our city lacks true primary prevention programs that address root causes by building youth resources and skills and engaging youth as change agents.
The True Reasons I Grabbed the Gun Evolved from Risks (T.R.I.G.G.E.R.) Project is a non-profit building a world absent of the disease of gun violence with and for youth.
As we spread prevention and peace at a grand scale, we ask that you join our ecosystem, our village of compassion, character, collaboration, and competence!
