Castlemont senior and Teens on Target youth leader Gregory Hampton continues to make his voice heard, locally and nationally. Greg has been part of TNT trips to address groups in Washington, DC and San Diego. He starred in a Youth ALIVE! video, and now, working with our friends at Everytown for Gun Safety, he has penned an urgent plea to address our nation’s crisis of gun violence.
