Elevating Young Adults Through
Meeting the Needs of the Community
For us, it’s more than an odd-job. By connecting Neighbors with hardworking Local Workers, we build lasting relationships that can uplift a community.
Pat Brown
Founded For Community
After founding the nations largest water special effects company, AQUA, Pat Brown revisited his business that he used to pay for college because he saw a deeper purpose. In 2017, he lost his best friend to addiction and another friend who took their life.
THE ISSUE:
The #1 cause of death for 19-25 year olds is suicide
Many quietly struggle with their mental health. Strange enough, helping others can combat this statistic.
- New relationships with like-minded coworkers.
- Helping all different types of people.
- Inspired by a Neighbor’s words or actions.
- Joy from serving selflessly.
- Satisfaction of completing projects with your hands.
- Learning & refining new skills in:
- Home management
- Work ethic
- Interpersonal communication
Through “Surving,” we’re meeting un-met needs in our communities:
By 2030, 65 million Americans won’t be able to manage their homes.
Simple odd jobs keep people from being able to stay at home.
Our Home-Partner Program provides help for people to live fuller lives at home.
Our Vision: Create communities across America in which young adults have a purpose driven job available to meet the needs of the community.
Our Mission: Building stronger communites through service.
Testimonials
“When I came home from college I was stoked to find Surv, an organization that also has a heart to serve. My favorite part of the job is building real relationships with neighbors in my community. I also love the community events that allow me to give back to those in need in my hometown.”
“There’s something bonding about putting your hands in the dirt together.”
