SPRINGFIELD, OREGON — The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation is proud to announce a new sponsorship partnership with Volquartsen Firearms, bringing together two organizations with a shared commitment to introducing young people to the shooting sports through education, safety, mentorship, and positive experiences on the range.

The partnership represents a natural alignment between the Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation's mission of teaching children responsible firearm safety and Volquartsen Firearms' longstanding involvement in precision shooting and the youth shooting-sports community.

"At the Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation, we believe that teaching young people about firearm safety is about much more than firearms. It's about responsibility, discipline, confidence, respect, and giving kids an opportunity to participate in shooting sports in a safe and structured environment," said Derek LeBlanc, President of the Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation.

"Volquartsen Firearms shares that commitment to the next generation of shooters, and we're excited to have them join our growing family of sponsors. Their support helps us continue reaching young people and families with a positive message about safety and responsible participation in the shooting sports."

A Shared Commitment to the Next Generation. Youth shooting sports provide young people with opportunities to develop concentration, discipline, patience, goal-setting, and responsibility.

Through properly supervised programs and experienced instructors, children and teens can learn the importance of following safety rules while developing skills and confidence.

The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation provides age-appropriate firearm safety education and shooting-sports opportunities designed to help young people develop a strong foundation of safe and responsible behavior.

"There's always talk in our industry about the importance of the next generation to the future of the shooting sports — Derek and his team are actually doing something about it. We're proud to support a cause like this. In my view, few sports teach discipline and accountability the way shooting sports do." Said Scott Volquartsen, President, Volquartsen Firearms.

Volquartsen Firearms, based in Iowa, has built its reputation around precision firearms and a passion for the shooting sports. Its support of the Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation reflects a commitment to helping introduce the next generation to shooting sports in a responsible and educational environment.

"We are proud to partner with a company that understands the importance of investing in young people," LeBlanc said. "The future of the shooting sports depends on the next generation, and that future starts with education, safety, mentorship, and positive experiences."

Building the Future of Shooting Sports

The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation views partnerships with companies such as Volquartsen Firearms as an important part of expanding access to youth shooting-sports education and reaching more families.

The foundation's programs emphasize that firearm safety is a lifelong responsibility. By combining classroom education with supervised, age-appropriate range experiences, the organization works to give young people the knowledge and habits necessary to participate responsibly.

The new sponsorship will help support the Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation's continued efforts to provide youth firearm-safety education and opportunities to experience the shooting sports. "We're grateful to Volquartsen Firearms for recognizing the importance of what we're doing," LeBlanc added. "This isn't simply about putting young people on a shooting range. It's about building responsible young adults, creating positive experiences with their families and instructors, and helping preserve a safe and responsible future for the shooting sports."
