Our Mission
Guns for Grants is an Education Opportunity Program, that focuses on redirecting at risk youth and young adults away from gun violence, into positive learning environments for personal and professional growth, enriching their quality of life.
Our Vision
Americans have been ravished by socio-economic injustices since the formation of this nation. The results of these injustices have positioned many of these communities below the poverty line, living in disenfranchised environments. The lack of opportunities in these environments have created communities plagued with gun violence.
Guns For Grants is revolutionizing a new way to cease fire in these communities through our restorative justice initiative. Partnering with Academic Institutional and Trade Schools, Guns For Grants offer’s FULL SCHOLARSHIPS & Mentors for any individual (16-24) who turns in an illegal firearm.
Guns For Grants also provides culturally relevant services and robust programming ranging from youth development to community and veteran support.
