Our Why
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to create a better future. By helping people set and achieve meaningful goals, we uplift and empower them to build lasting change in their lives and communities.
Our Method
Thrive! model is derived from Ruby Payne’s “Bridges out of Poverty” framework and began serving the Manhattan area in 2016. The five key resources identified for success by research are; financial, emotional, mental/cognitive, language, and social capital. Our programming addresses the needs of each family and individual. Participants connect with mentors to help them achieve their goals and advance their work toward economic stability.
How do we do it?
Volunteers! We bring the community together through compassion and hard work.
