Mission: A Thrive Community creates environments that allow people to build trusting relationships, explore opportunities, and implement life-changing actions to move out of poverty.
WELCOME TO THRIVE
"Our vision is to inspire and equip families and communities to thrive and end poverty. THRIVE is a community driven solution to addressing the underlying causes of poverty and supporting families in a holistic, longterm pathway to economic stability."
What is a THRIVE Community?
A THRIVE Community is a 501C3 organization operating in the state of Kansas. We recognize that people in poverty need to be in charge of their own lives. In this model they are known as Team Leaders, and over the course of their involvement in the THRIVE Community, each Leader takes an increasingly active role in leading their Team and giving back to the community. A THRIVE Team is an intentional, supportive friendship, made up of one Team Leader who is a person living in poverty and two or more THRIVE Allies who are volunteers willing to build supportive relationships that help people achieve their goals. Allies join Team Leaders in advocating for removing community barriers for people who are working to move out of poverty.
