Our Mission & Vision
In Memory of Kian Carmello Hamilton
To honor Kian Carmello Hamilton’s legacy by actively working to prevent youth violence through education and empowerment, providing compassionate support to families impacted by loss, and advocating for safer communities where every young person can thrive.
We envision a future free from the tragedy of youth violence, where no other family endures the immense pain of losing a child senselessly. We see communities where empathy triumphs over anger, where young people feel safe, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential, and where Kian’s enduring spirit inspires hope and positive action for generations to come.
