Thrive Youth Center's Efforts
Thrive Youth Center, since its inception on 2/25/15, has worked tirelessly to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth exiting homelessness.
Support Our Efforts
Thrive’s services include a 13 bed emergency shelter, 45 transitional housing apartments and wrap-around services including educational and workforce support, mental health counseling and life skills training. Recognizing that youth in our community are motivated to find a place they feel welcomed and accepted for who they are, a chosen family that supports their efforts to become productive citizens in a welcoming society.
Support Services
Government Grants allow us to provide physical housing options, but wrap-around services are primarily funded through generous donations from compassionate individuals who understand the challenges facing youth in today's society.
