Curtis Sliwa
CEO & Founder


Curtis Sliwa is a pioneer who forged his grassroots activism into a global vocation. Born to a close-knit family in Brooklyn, Curtis absorbed values steeped in the importance of societal responsibility. Learning self-defense as a youth sowed the seeds of personal empowerment, which would later transform into community devotion, determination and unwavering commitment. Over the past three decades, Curtis Sliwa's programs and initiatives have been recognized by Presidents and Prime Ministers, Governors, Senators and Mayors, as well as by leading businessmen, veterans groups and many other associations. more

Curtis speaks often now to groups about the power of one, the importance of volunteer service, and rolemodelling. Public safety entities, which years ago rejected him, are now seeking his assistance. Other volunteer organizations seek his help in perfecting their recruitment and retention techniques.

Curtis continues to implement and enhance programs of personal, neighborhood, cyberspace and educational safety. While the street patrol component continues to thrive, his ultimate objective is to provide viable solutions to educational and classroom safety challenges. With Curtis at the helm, The Guardian Angels has evolved into a renowned organization focused on their groundbreaking work in developing curriculums to address the critical issues that threaten safe and effective education.
