About Team Truth 919
Our Story
Team Truth 919 Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, youth-serving community organization for prevention of gun violence, dedicated to mentoring, empowering, educating, and uplifting young teens in our communities. Team Truth 919 believes that all young children and teenagers have the potential to succeed in life and contribute to society. However, not all children and teens receive the support or possess the resources they need to thrive. Through our Preventative Gun Violence and Mentoring Programs, Team Truth 919 will help provide young children and teenagers with the opportunity to find support, counseling, positive reinforcement, and constructive examples to emulate. Our mission is to provide opportunities that promote growth and development for young children and teens within their communities, schools, organizations, peer groups, and families.
"Real men use their voice not violence."
Help us embrace TRUTH together.
