Learn MoreThrive Youth Development is non-profit 501(c)3 organization focusing on coaching, inspiring and empowering youth (ages 9-21) through special events and programs designed to help youth develop positive mindsets.
With a focus on youth development that emphasizes leadership skills, social responsibility, and community engagement, we strive to empower young people to become transformative agents of change in the world around them.
Through our programs, we provide young people with the tools, resources, and guidance they need to build their skills and confidence, and to grow into change-makers who can transform their communities for the better.
Programs encourage high performance and awareness while teaching students to identify and correct poor habits to improve their chances of success.
Thrive offers services that are responsive to the needs of youth and families in local communities and counties.
Over the last 4 semesters on record we had nearly 120 students attend our 7 weekend leadership program.
Two days out of each semester we have “class” for the parents in our Parenting On Purpose workshops.
