For youth to be prepared for their futures, we understand their education must extend beyond the classroom. Thrive families plan engaging, educational youth programs which provide additional skills to help them grow academically, emotionally, and socially. We also share resources with families to support academic achievement.

We believe it is important for youth to understand their African American history and the richness of the African American culture. Therefore, Thrive families expose youth to a variety of cultural activities such as African Dance and Black History tours. Thrive plans family field trips for our families to share experiences together.

Community Partnerships
There are numerous non-profits and local organizations which offer resources and services to help families and the community. However, many families are not aware of these resources. Thrive partners with local organizations to share these resources with families and to serve the greater community.
