To date more than 2,500,000 square feet of walls have been painted under Surgance leadership in urban centers across the United States.

A fresh coat of paint can provide a striking and immediate impact. If you have ever painted, you know a little color can breathe new life into fading environments. Surgance has established a collaborative social action initiative with local and national partners providing the funds and thousands of volunteers providing the fuel that is restoring buildings of community interest in cities all over the nation.

The US Department of Education reports that improving an educational environment improves standardized test scores by 11%.

Over 25,000 students in New York City alone have returned to newly painted classrooms since members of the Surgance team began their first renovation in the Bronx. Since then, corporate partners, government officials, faith-based organizations and more than 6,000 volunteers have collaborated to paint or otherwise improve  more than 40 schools and other buildings of community interest in more than 15 cities across the nation.

Join the Surgance movement and watch fading school buildings, declining neighborhoods and historic architecture enjoy new life! You can volunteer at a local event or even act as a catalyst to bring Surgance to a school near and dear to your heart.
