Our Vision
The vision of Judah Brown Project is that every child in the United States will be able to learn the skills they need to keep them safer from drowning and that every parent will have access to both education on water safety and the programs that will provide life saving skills to their children, without financial or physical barriers to that access.
Our Mission
Our mission at JBP is to provide funding for survival swim instruction for children 6 years and under whose parents cannot afford the lessons otherwise, to provide CPR/First Aid and AED certification for individuals 8 years and older and to provide other life saving education to families to help prevent children from drowning.
How We Help
Fund
With generous donations from our supporters, we provide funding for infant and toddler survival skills swim training and CPR certification classes for parents of young children. As we grow, our goal is to provide as many low-cost or no-cost classes to those in our community who need it as possible.
Inform
We work to ensure that our website, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook presence are valuable sources of information about childhood drowning prevention. We attend expos, festivals, openings and various other venues to have the opportunity to inform families about water safety.
Educate
Many families are never told that drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4. We provide informational literature to peditricians to share with families to educate them about drowning so their child doesn’t become a victim. We provide informational literature to families, pediatricians, caregivers, city officials, safety advocacy groups, and schools, as well as offering in person and online trainings for each of these groups
