Goliath Youth Safety Initiative
The Goliath Youth Safety Initiative is a vital initiative of Goliath Tactical Firearms Training dedicated to preventing gun violence among teens, and addressing the urgent issue of school shootings. Our program offers a comprehensive range of services and training programs designed to educate families about firearm safety and responsible ownership, while connecting young people to critical resources to identify, address, and reduce gun violence at a high level. Through interactive workshops, mentorship opportunities, and community engagement, we aim to empower youth and families with the knowledge and skills to lead a healthy life. We will also work to develop policy and advocacy plans to create a safer environment for our communities while promoting the fundamental human right to bear arms.
Our Mission & Vision
The Goliath Youth Safety Initiative (GYSI) is a community-based violence prevention program dedicated to equipping young people with real-world safety, conflict resolution, and leadership skills. Rooted in education, mentorship, and community engagement, GYSI provides training that empowers youth to protect themselves and their peers while building stronger, safer neighborhoods.
Our training catalog includes workshops on conflict de-escalation, emotional regulation, self-defense, first aid, active threat response, situational awareness, and restorative justice practices. Each program is designed to reduce youth involvement in violence by replacing fear with skill, and isolation with community.
Our vision is a future where every young person—regardless of background—has access to the tools, confidence, and support to navigate crisis, lead with integrity, and build lasting peace in their communities.
