Who We Are

Together, We Can!

Gun violence and youth trauma, and mental health disparities are not just headlines in the DMV they are daily realities for too many families. That’s why Time for Us to Get Involved was founded: to be the connective force behind a powerful group to create lasting change.

We are the organizer, the convener, and the bridge-builder uniting more than 80 passionate partners across nonprofits, government, business, media, and faith communities. Our mission is to amplify their work, align their efforts, and unlock collective solutions that reduce violence, strengthen families, and uplift our youth.

Since our founding, we’ve hosted major community town halls where real conversations lead to real action. These events have become trusted spaces for listening, strategizing, and collaborating across neighborhoods and sectors. We’re building an ecosystem of support where every young person has a pathway to thrive, and we need your support to keep moving forward.
