Before Zac Brown started the Zac Brown Band, he had worked as a camp counselor. So, after rising to stardom, the group made the decision to start their own youth camp called Southern Camp Ground. The camp is a nonprofit located in Georgia on a 400-acre strip of land. Campers range from seven to 17 years old with the goal to educate, challenge, and inspire kids with diverse needs and abilities. The band says that they wanted to help kids reach their full potential and help to provide them with the tools and advice necessary to do so. The band has also worked with Little Kids Rock, a national nonprofit to help revitalize school music programs in disadvantaged public schools by donating items for auction for the organization.
