Judah Brown Project

Judah Brown Project is a non-profit (501c3) organization that was created in 2016, after the drowning death of, 3-year-old Judah Levi Brown. It was created to educate parents, caregivers, professionals and children about the dangers of drowning, how often it happens, how silent and fast it is, and how to prevent it from happening. What do we do? Education: We have developed a water safety curriculum that has been used in 10 school districts (and growing) in the Houston, TX area. We have also taught and continue to teach countless parent and caregiver classes on water safety and drowning prevention, as well as just as many professional trainings for organizations such as Parks and Rec, Health Departments, Teachers, School Counselors, Pediatricians, Pool service providers, pool builders, and so many more. All of our curriculum is available free and online. We are also currently translating all of it into Spanish to better serve our community. No need to know about water safety before using it. We do that for you! Pamphlets: We created a water safety pamphlet that has all of the layers of protection that keep children safer around water and we have asked schools and pediatricians to give these pamphlets to the families they serve. We also have our pamphlets with pool builders, pool service companies, realtors and various other pediatric settings. To date, we have over 437 offices nationwide that carry and pass out our pamphlets. Scholarships: We believe all children should have access to life saving swim lessons. Being involved in quality swim lessons is associated with an 88% decrease in childhood drownings. We believe cost should not be a barrier to a child becoming skilled in the water. Every year we work to provide as many scholarships as we can to families who can not afford these lessons. We have currently given out over $49,657 in scholarships to families and have skilled over 176 children in the water through this program.
