WHO WE ARE...
Creating Opportunities. Strengthening Youth. Building Brighter Communities.
Since 2013, No Gun Smoke School Tour Inc. (NGSST) has been committed to empowering children and young people by providing meaningful alternatives to violence through education, mentorship, recreation, health and wellness, creative expression, leadership development, and hands on skill building.
We believe that violence prevention begins with opportunity. Young people need more than messages telling them what to avoid. They need safe spaces where they can discover their interests, develop their talents, build confidence, connect with positive role models, and experience new possibilities for their future.
Through engaging enrichment programs such as boxing, double dutch, arts, photography, juicing and nutrition, fitness, barbering, carpentry, theater, music, media production, academic support, and leadership development, NGSST meets young people where they are and helps them discover where they can go.
Our work extends beyond individual programs. We partner with schools, families, community organizations, mentors, and professionals to create environments where young people feel supported, valued, challenged, and inspired to succeed.
At NGSST, we believe every young person has potential. Our responsibility is to help create the opportunities that allow that potential to grow.
Our philosophy is simple:
Prevention begins with opportunity.
When young people have access to safe spaces, caring adults, creative outlets, physical activity, practical skills, and meaningful opportunities, they are better positioned to make positive choices and envision brighter futures.
We don't just tell young people what to stay away from.
We give them something positive to move toward.
No Guns. No Violence. Just Opportunities. Bright Futures.
NO GUNS. NO VIOLENCE.
JUST OPPORTUNITIES. BRIGHT FUTURES.
Creating opportunities. Strengthening youth. Building brighter communities.
Paving the Way for a Brighter Future for Our Children!
