The JOSH PROJECT - "Saving Lives, One Swimmer at a Time!"
Nine people drown every day in the United States. Six out of the nine are minorities, according to USA Swimming research. The goal of The Josh Project is to change these statistics!
Our focus is on at-risk youth. We provide low-cost swimming lessons and teach water safety to every youth who has a desire to learn. We believe that everyone should know how to swim. Swimming is an accredited sport and a valuable life skill.
In the brief existence of The Josh Project we have graduated many students, and awarded "I Can Swim" t-shirts to each one. The Josh Project has become so popular that we now have many eager young "soon-to-be" swimmers in Toledo, Ohio, and Norfolk, Virginia. We’ve heard followers of the program in various parts of the country have been inspired to think about starting their own branches; we’ll keep you posted as The Josh Project continues to grow.
The Josh Project is hosting our 1st Annual Water Safety Day! We have received a Proclamation from Mayor Mike Bell in recognition of our outstanding achievements that reflect on the well-being and growth of the Toledo community and its citizens".
