Deaths and injuries by firearm affect every community in Tennessee – cities, suburbs, small towns and rural areas. From its inception, Safer TN has sought to bring together people with different life experiences, political ideologies and points of view to attack this pervasive problem. As we grow, we seek to build a team that reflects that philosophy.
Safer TN is an equal opportunity employer. Applicants are considered for all roles without regard to race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, or any other legally protected characteristic or status.
