Programs That Transform Possibility Into Power
We don’t offer services. We create spaces where youth can heal, lead, and thrive. ThriveForward’s programs are built for those often overlooked justice-involved, at-risk, and system-impacted youth equipping them with leadership, wellness, and life-changing tools.
Our programs are designed for at-risk youth navigating systems not built for their success including youth impacted by the juvenile justice system, foster care, educational disruption, and generational trauma.
​
We meet youth with what they need most: nourishment, mentorship, healing, and leadership opportunities. From consistent meals and grooming support to peer mentorship and career development, we remove barriers and build trust so youth can show up fully, and rise boldly.
Leadership Circles
Culturally grounded, peer-led groups that build self-confidence, purpose, and public speaking skills. Youth reclaim their narrative while developing the mindset and tools to lead.
Workforce Readiness
We prepare youth for economic mobility resumes, job shadowing, career exposure, financial literacy, and real-world preparation tailored to youth with justice system involvement or disrupted education.
Life Skills, Wellness, and Nourishment
We offer holistic support: conflict resolution, emotional regulation, meals, hygiene care, and wellness education. These dignity-first resources lead to increased school attendance, personal confidence, and community connection.
Peer Mentorship and Coaching
Youth connect with mentors who reflect their lived experiences and walk beside them not above them. This trauma-informed mentorship builds trust, accountability, and lasting transformation.
Why Our Model Works:
Nourishment + hygiene = improved school engagement
Peer mentorship = higher emotional resilience
Leadership + workforce = reduced recidivism and stronger life outcomes
We serve youth the system counted out, and help them build a future no one can deny!
