Sam Forline started Blue Collar Scholars when the economy crashed and college grads and students alike couldn’t find jobs. He knew one thing, every house in his neighborhood needed some kind of work that could give college students jobs. Either mowing the grass every week or so, weeding garden beds, taking down unwanted trees, cleaning gutters, taking out unwanted junk, and even shoveling snow in

When I started this company to pay my way through college, going door to door, doing whatever I could to help improve your home, and meeting many of you who still call us friends today, I could only wish that we would get to the level of success that we currently call ‘business as usual’. All of that is because of your continued trust and faith in our work.

The me from five years ago would look at us and say, ‘We’ve made it,’ and the me today would agree.

We’ve served close to a thousand of our neighbors doing everything from simple maintenance work to life-changing construction. That’s pretty epic. Big projects, small projects, simple projects, challenging projects, dream projects… we've loved every single one of them. But, if I’m honest, there is one type of project we love doing more than any other.

Heartwarming projects.

These are the unexpected ones that keep me thrilled to do what we do daily. Recently, I realized out of the blue that we could do more of this work. And by more, I mean as much as we possibly can!

So I met with the team, and we’ve constructed a way to ensure we are always doing heartwarming work and serving our community as we love to do.

We need your help finding people or places needing our services pro Bono.

For example, this could be;
- A school that needs a new garden
- A nonprofit that needs its drainage taken care of
- A person who deserves something taken off their plate because of how much they serve other people
-An older person who can’t maintain their property
- Etc.

If you know anyone or any place that fits the bill, please do either or both of the following
- Tag them in this post
- Go to https://bluecollarscholars.net/community-service to apply

I thank you for your support as we continue to grow with our community in this new and exciting way. I’m looking forward to reading your submissions!
