Every day, communities across our state are impacted by gun violence. At HCGV, we believe young people are powerful agents of change—and that by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and platforms to lead, we can build safer, healthier communities for everyone. Your donation directly fuels this work.
Your support helps us strengthen civic engagement and create pathways for youth leadership that drive real change.
Why Your Donation Matters
HCGV’s programs are designed to center youth, elevate their voices, and provide tools to prevent violence in their schools and neighborhoods. Your gift makes it possible to:
- Deliver Youth Leadership Initiative workshops that empower high school and college students
- Provide education on civic engagement and violence prevention
- Facilitate community conversations that build understanding and drive action
- Support youth-led projects focused on reducing gun violence
- Expand our reach so more young people—especially those underrepresented spaces—can lead solutions that matter to them
Your contribution strengthens a movement grounded in hope, healing, and meaningful participation.
Together, we can build a future where every young person feels safe, heard, and empowered to lead change.
