At Survival Gang, we are committed to building stronger, smarter, and more resilient individuals through real-world survival training and community-driven growth.

Preparing People for the Moments That Matter Most

Survival Gang provides practical, community-centered training that prepares people to respond effectively during emergencies—when fear is high, systems may fail, and decisions matter. Our training is grounded in real-world experience, trauma-informed instruction, and collective responsibility. We focus on readiness, clarity, and calm action—not fear-based messaging.

Our Story

Born from the legacy of two powerful nonprofits — Growth is Life Foundation and IGL Foundation — Survival Gang fuses outdoor survival with the thrill of competitive gaming, reality TV, and practical education. From online classes to obstacle course competitions held in our state’s most beautiful parks, this is more than a program. This is a movement.

Vision Statement:

To build a culture of preparedness where every individual, family, and community has the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to survive emergencies, adapt to adversity, and lead with resilience. Inspired by Louisiana’s rich outdoor heritage as the Sportsman’s Paradise, we envision a future where preparedness becomes a way of life and every generation is equipped to protect themselves, serve others, and strengthen their communities.
