Our Team

Sandy Hook Promise is led by several family members whose loved ones were lost at Sandy Hook Elementary School and a talented staff of seasoned professionals.

Each of these groups are working to help fulfill our shared mission to educate and empower youth and adults to prevent violence in schools, homes, and communities. People of all ages and backgrounds have come together, united in the cause to protect our kids.
