To create a world free from gun violence, TTP focuses on prevention by mentoring, educating, and protecting young people. Too often, youth in DC are forced to survive instead of thrive. Reframing case management as care management, TTP meets over 600 young people where they are, connecting them with transportation, resources, and opportunities. Every summer, it provides paid jobs for young people to learn de-escalation, process trauma, engage with gun violence survivors, and build their social and emotional skills. Culminating in its annual Youth Day, youth graduate as Prevention Strategists, leading discussions and training to educate their peers on solutions to gun violence. Year-round, students in paid internships advocate for their needs with local leaders and policymakers while building community over dinners and outings. TTP centers youth voices to create safe spaces where they can heal and grow.
