Gamers Over Guns
Gamers Over Guns is a nonprofit initiative dedicated to empowering underserved communities and reducing gun violence in America. Through the power of gaming, we help individuals build essential life skills and create meaningful pathways toward brighter, safer futures.
​We are proud to partner with Thrive For Life Prison Project, offering those facing prison sentences an alternative to incarceration through our rehabilitation-focused classes.
​
By utilizing interactive platforms such as the National Football League x Visa Financial Football video game and The Sims 4, we engage participants in developing vital strengths with a strong emphasis on financial literacy, while also fostering the confidence needed for long-term success and reintegration.
​
Our sessions extend beyond gaming—providing support in social skills, career readiness, and personal development. Through these programs, Gamers Over Guns is committed to building resilience, inspiring hope, and helping participants level up in life.
