Futures Without Fear empowers youth and families through trauma-informed healing, grief support, and violence prevention services that help them heal, grow, and live without fear.
Futures Without Fear was born from tragedy, but built on love. Founded after the loss of both his son’s mother and later his son to gun violence, Kenn Collier Sr. turned grief into action, launching a movement for healing, prevention, and youth empowerment.

We believe that lasting change starts with addressing both the trauma and the systems that contribute to youth gun violence. Our work meets individuals where they are, with resources, support, and a roadmap forward into action, launching a movement for healing, prevention, and youth empowerment.
We provide emotional and mental health support to help families and youth process trauma, build resilience, and rediscover hope.
We intervene before violence happens—through community outreach, education, and neighborhood-based support.
We equip young people with life skills, career tools, and development so they can rise beyond and lead change.
We bring people together—survivors, advocates, mentors, and leaders—to create a united front against violence.
"They reminded me that I still have a future."
"Futures Without Fear didn’t just help me heal—they reminded me that I still have a future. After losing my son to gun violence, I didn’t know how to move forward. Men Grieve Too ™ became a lifeline. I wasn’t alone anymore."
-A Grieving Father, Healing Circle Participant
"Now I’m dreaming bigger."
“Before this program, I didn’t think I’d make it to 18. I was angry, lost, and surrounded by violence. Future Ready U gave me something to work toward. Now I’m applying for internships—and dreaming bigger than I ever have.”
-Jaylen, 17, Future Ready U Student
"I came home different—in the best way."
“Traveling with Beyond the Block Program™ opened my mind and my heart. It was my first time on a plane, my first time seeing another city. I met people who looked like me doing amazing things. I came home different—in the best way.”
-Kendarius, 17, Youth Ambassador
"My son is alive today because someone intervened."
“This isn’t just another program. It’s a movement. My son was headed down a dangerous path, but someone from theYouth Mentorship Team talked to him, showed him another way. He’s now back in school—and my son is alive today because someone intervened”
