LAS VEGAS, NV – First Preventers officially launched in January of 2019 with approval from the State of Nevada and recently received its 501(c)3 approval in August 2019. Through donations, fundraising, and grants, the nonprofit will continue to help provide schools, organizations, and communities with access to the trailblazing First Preventers Program and other partnerships in order to create a safer space for students, employee, community members, and others by preventing more incidents and tragedies before they happen.
